Melvin Manhoef Vs. Paulo Filho - Fight Video DREAM 10

Filho has to be the most overrated MW in MMA history. The hype surrounding this guy a couple years back on Sherdog was absurd, and so unfounded. He has no stand-up at all and his strength is way overblown. Put him up against either a good wrestler or a good striker with takedown defense and he's ****ed.

 

Hes lost one fight, where he was talking to imaginary people at that, fought at least solid competition, most of it at 205.

How is that overrated? Misaki suits "good striker with takedown defense" to a tee, he got armbarred with the quickness. Sonnen is one of the best wrestlers around, and was another armbar victim. The second fight was a disgrace, he was clearly not prepared to fight due to mental and drug issues, and that is all on him, but if that is out of the way he appears to be a great fighter.

Not to mention, he can weather a storm, Sonnen was beating him on the stand up, yet got his arm nearly broken.

Add to that he is just out of rehab,

 

So your gonna call Filho out for roids when his opponent is Manhoef? I mean, if ever there was a time to assume Filho was at a chemical disadvantage, this was it.

 

I dont know what to make of manhoef, is he a good fighter??. the guy has almost 0 ground game. A decent sprawl but he keeps losing to these lesser athletes.

 

I love Melvin. Your guranteed to get a good fight with him. Him KO'ing Mark Hunt was a joy to watch.
