Is it safe to say Kevin Lee is Melvin Guillard 2.0?

[wwkirk]

TS 2.0

 

[blaseblah]

Both young, promising and explosive fighters with B level athleticism but had terrible fight IQ and and couldn’t put it together when it mattered. Honestly I don’t see a future for Kevin Lee in the UFC and it might be the best for both parties to move on.

You haven't moved on from posting so anything's possible.

 

[Jokke]

No.

That's a stupid thing to say.

 

[King in the North]

TS is a fucking pussy.

 

[Kumason]

WTF are you talking about?! Melvin Guillard once tapped out after putting on a turtle neck.

 

[lifer26]

If anything Al is more similar to Melvin than kevin is

 

[Megatronlee]

He’s the new dana white

 

[FreddieRoachsVoice]

They have completely different fighting styles, strengths, and weaknesses. Terrible comparison IMO. That being said, Kevin Lee has been extremely overhyped over the last year. He isn't suddenly "overrated" because he just lost but because he hasn't notched any notable wins yet in his career. Very glad he lost and this "Kevin Lee is the guy to beat Khabib" talk can end

No. Kevin Lee s very good, there are just a few guys that are better.

 

[HHJ]

No.

No,Kevin lee did not become a journeyman or Melvin overnight. He still young and has potential.

Stop it.

Barboza? Chiesa? Trinaldo? Even Jake Matthews is a pretty legit win. All of them are certainly notable. Al is a bad matchup for him, we knew this before the fight.

His stock took a hit but he definitely has wins that only a top caliber fighter could get.

Loses a razor close decision to Iaquinta and now he’s all of a sudden Guillard 2.0? Get outta here

 

[nostradumbass]

The guy was 6-1 in the last few years before last night, just beat Edson, but it's time to quit fighting because he lost a decision to Iaquinta? The hell is this?

This thread sucks so let's make it a little better.




Is this the girl that tapped you TS? She's clearly gifted.

iaquinta's pretty damn good bro. kevin lee just beat barboza. 155 division is just filled with killers once you throw in khabib, conor, cowboy, poirier, diaz. being top 5 is pretty damn good in its own right.

kevin lee's pretty good. he's no guillard

And I thought they are friends

Sweet setup for a podcast.

You should let the girl that tapped you to post on your account. She clearly knows more about MMA than you do.

 

[Nihongi]

Oof! That’s harsh but somewhat applicable

 

[ScarecrowNZ]

Not a fan of Lee's but this is a bit rough lol Hasn't Melvin been finished in like 4 straight fights?

 

[JosephTessaro]

Exactly the same but not even close
