Melvin Manhoef War Wagon

[Fahrenheit1221]

I've been a fan from the first time I saw him fight.

Win or lose, Melvin gets my nomination for the scariest and most violent fighter in MMA history.

He's got a tough test in Rafael Carvalho but this would be a great feather in his cap to win the Bellator Middleweight championship.

What say you Sherdog?

Where are the Manhoef fans at?

EDIT:

Melvin was one of those dudes that embodied my original expectations of mma. I've only seen a couple guys throw with such vicious intent. I hate that he lacks defense and gets KOed stiff and often. He's a true glass cannon, Moreso than arlovski, overeem etc

you have my axe

war melvin really hoping he gets the job done tonight

 

[LHWBelt]

Im rooting for the guy. I like a good underdog story and he has to be a big dog I'd imagine. I like late career type moments as well and even tho its only bellators mw title, they have had decent champs at mw.

 

[LHWBelt]

The division is terrible but a couple guys are good and the rest are kinda like melvin, late in the game or very flawed somehow but dangerous somewhere.

Melvin Manhoef is amazing. I hope for a highlight reel KO tonight.

Always excited to see the real gladiator in the ring or cage. So much violence. With No Mercy.

His fights with cyborg and lawler are stuff of legend

I don't care what the judges say, he deserved to be world champion.

I feel so bad for Melvin right now. He's been around the block and finally gets in a championship fight.. what happens? He gets assblasted by the judges.

 

[Andrey Kamensky]

Melvin is great and he's the real MW champ now. Face it.
yeah, he's old and his chin is not the same but he still hits HARD.

 

[Robby88]

Deserved that belt as the cherry on his own cake, but got robbed so bad..

 

[TreeOfWoe]

Absolute robbery, Manhoef should be Bellator champ now. Really sad.

Don't get why people think Manhoef got robbed, the fight was close due to both of them being inactive for the most part. I could see Carvalho winning the first round due to being the "aggressor" for the most part (put it in quotation marks due to him only stalking while throwing one or two kicks from time to time) while Manhoef was content with moving backwards without doing really anything, I could also see him winning the third and fourth round due to his takedowns and the few kicks he landed, because, while they didn't do shit, they scored points. All in all, really forgettable fight in which I wouldn't mind either of them getting the nod.
