Well so far Guillard is actually fighting much smarter than before rehab, imagine that. His wrestling has always been good, but he's been too wild to take advantage.
And there is the same old Melvin; shoots for a takedown despite absolutely not wanting to be on the ground. Diaz has some great guillotine variations, that one was nasty.
I was really impressed by Guillard, up until he handed Nate his throat. Nate probably had Guillard in his gaurd for a whole 30 seconds in that entire fight and still able to sub him, very impressive.
I love Nates Guillotine I learned it awhile back alot of people assume you need the full guard for Guillotines and that not having both the legs around the back ruin the move. But having that knee underneath really helps you get a great angle for your hips and helps twist the neck making it a choke and a painhold at the same time. Its a incredibly powerful move doesnt take but a secound or 2 for a tap see the Miller-Rosholt,Faber-Pulver II and other fights for proof.
I was thinking the same thing he takes a guy down who wins most of his matches off his back. None the less Melvin has to develope more of his game besides his right hand.
Melvin ****ed himself by going to his old tricks and showing of by playing possum then just throwing that right hand with horrible takedown and by doing that leaving his neck open. Melvin Guillard has alot of great assets but brains isnt exactly one of them.
Great card tonight. The first episode of TUF was good. Too bad they didn't get Kimbo in the cage yet. No doubt they'll try to keep him out as long as possible. All the pros will be gunning for him. I'm surprised everyone on the show is clowning Roy Big Country Nelson. I think he has the best chance to win the show - considering he is the IFL heavyweight champion and almost had Arlovski beat with a key lock before the worst ref stand up in MMA history.
Well when I seen the line up, ya knew that Kimbo ((IMO)) has no chance to win. I feel he wins his first fight, but then gets beat in the second round. Nelson you can look at and say he has the best record and exp. But with HW, you never know. Hope they don't have all the B.S. that they have had the last few seasons. It turned me off.
Highly entertaining night of fights. I love watching Nate Quarry go to war. It's not pretty, but damn, he takes a beating and still manages to land bombs. He did the same thing with Pete Sell. Those are two of my favorite fights of all time. Nate Quarry will never win the 185 belt, but he = money at 185. I love watching him throw down.
