Bendo via total domination
I'm sorry but only a troll thinks Gilbert is #1 right now. This are the same trolls who think Aoki is GOAT lw or #1 at any point.
I'm a Gilbert fan but you can tell he is weak just like the rest of his team and he will get rag dolled by guys like Bendo and Gray.
and i'm not even a melendez fan.
if Gil comes out the way he did in the last Thomson fight and Masvidal fight, then he probably will get dominated.
the first fight was definitely not close enough to go either way though and i never said it invalidated what happened in the 2nd fight, just stated my opinion that it shouldnt have happened. Ben got the decision in the 2nd fight though, so it is what it is.
if u read my first post i said i was fine with Gil getting the shot as long as it happens soon and Pettis doesnt have to wait 8 months to fight him(if he were to beat Cerrone) because hes coming off almost a year layoff.
Keep drinking the kool-aid buddy. Henderson is gonna maul Gilbert in a one sided beat down just like his teammate.melendez has very good wrestling, unlike either diaz brother. his jiu jutsu is just as good as henderson's, and his striking is on par as well. it should be a close, competitive fight.
that's a big "if". i think that strikeforce's imminent demise was preying on his mind, as well as the possibility/probability of going over to the ufc. he may have looked past his opponents (big mistake) and underestimated them. i doubt he makes the same mistake vs henderson. he may not win, but he won't be getting destroyed.
He beat Josh Thomson according to the judges -_-.And who has Melendez beaten lately?

The majority of MMA outlets had Edgar winning in the live scoring. That on its own would suggest that the fight wasn't a blowout. Justify rounds 1, 3 or 5 conclusively for Bendo and I might agree that there was it was "defenitely not close enough".
How good is El Nino's chin?
the majority of mma outlets are more likely to go with who they think the judges picked as opposed to who the criteria would have winning. that's why they'd award a round to edgar despite the fact that he got outstruck just because he scored 1 or 2 td's. they probably were under the illusion that that would win him the round.
long story short: mma outlet "judging" can be just as bad, if not worse than real judging.
