How is he still getting sanctioned?
Damn I used to train with Melvin at the Blackzilians back in the day. He’s a good dude and was an incredible talent at that time. I don’t like seeing that he’s still fighting though![]()
If you mean by people like 2 people thought that, I guess. He was never thought of a serious contender.I remember in 2011 people actually thought he could be champion. Lauzon put an end to that.

I could see it. Dunham was coming off a close FOTN with Sean Sherk then Guillard took him out in a round. The optics would have been very positive. Plus Melvin just had that scary kind of knockout power. After 5 wins in a row he would have been near contendership.No, after he KOd Dunham people were thinking he was going to KO Edgar if he got the shot. He was like the minus 600 favorite over Joe Lauzon.
Nobody with a brain thought he'd be champ imo, and Frank Trigg were the two guys people kept saying would lose putting on a neck tie.I remember in 2011 people actually thought he could be champion. Lauzon put an end to that.
Was Ron Tripp the guy who cornered him back in his UFC days? I remember that one of his cornermen was his judo coach.Those insane Judo throws he pulled off on guys like Tibau do not get on the highlight reels like they deserve. He was a student of the great Ron Tripp.
