'Bayou Beatdown:' Bad blood fuels Melvin Guillard and Rich Clementi UFC 79 fight

Melvin leaves his neck in and he is toast. I will be pulling for him but Rich will win. Period.

melvin gon lay the smackdownnnnnnn

I really hope that Dana White is wrong about Melvin, or that Melvin can at least mature a little. That guy is super talented and fun to watch. Get him in a good camp with tons of focus, and he is going to fight for the title.

i just hope he is not coked up this time.
I see big things in his future if he can keep his head and not be ghetto-fabulous.

mini randleman will put on a good show although i find him quite arrogant. he talked a lot smack about stevenson, whom is a very nice guy.

When he is good, he’s good. When he thinks he is better than what he is, he gets submitted. I hope he is good when he meets Clementi. He is exciting to watch.

Guillard is a chump. He talks, talks, talks and never does much. He is exciting to watch, because he always loses in the first round. I will give him that the first 20 seconds of every fight is exciting…but once his “high” ends, he shows his neck and loses.

Melvin is a scary dude. To bad though…

Melvin will always be the arrogant prick he is and will always find a way to blow (no pun intended). I know A-holes just like him that are 40 years old who somehow think that they are all the shit meanwhile they are getting their cars repossessed. They are always broke because they knocked up 9 chicken heads and all their money goes to court dates. Sad, sad, sad.

You can’t act like a tough guy and your name is “Melvin”.

You can’t act like a tough guy and your name is “Melvin”.

Actually, that’s probably the very reason why he’s tough. He had to go through his entire childhood getting ripped on by everyone for having the name Melvin.

We had this kid named Jesse, which is sort of a neutral name, except there were 3 girls in our same grade with the name. He got ripped on constantly through grade school and middle school. Then we got to High School and he became an All-State middle linebacker…

melvin will knock his head off

Marvin, I mean Melvin is a cocky and brash guy, that’s a euphemism for he’s just a plain a**hole, and is the true example of what happens when a little bit of talent mixed with a very small amount of fame lands on a guy with a chip on his shoulder. He’s got all the tools to go far but has a two cent head on his shoulders that won’t let him achieve what he can possibly reach. I hope Rich Clementi puts the hurt on Walter, sorry I mean Melvin!

Melvin won’t make it that far with that kind of mentality, doesn’t matter if it’s MMA, NBA, music, whatever, I’ve known guys like him…there are thousands, all very destructive to others and themselves. They think the world owes them something because they think their “struggle” is more important. They either learn the hard way or don’t learn at all.

melvin is the man. future champ. This forum is full of haters.

Melvin will pick up the win here

Full of haters all saying the same thing. “Very exciting fighter but dissapointing mental game = not good outlook for longevity in the sport”. Obviously must be some veracity to what the consensus is.

I really don’t see Rich beating Melvin on Saturday.

Rich is going to get ktfo in the first round. Plus Melvin hits people very very hard.

The only win this rich guy got in the UFC is Ross the people champ Pointon. And Anthony JOhnson(who has 4 fights ever. Melvin, trash talk, 8 ball, with a chip on his shoulder, Guillard is going to win this fight relly fast, and maybe with no more then breaking his warm up sweat. Clementi is no where near Melvins level. I do not like his attitude but Clementi has never impressed me or anyone that I can recall.

I really don’t see Rich beating Melvin on Saturday.

PhilQNY: I would have to strongly agree with your comment. We may not like his personality, but Melvin is too talented to loose to Rich (a fighter who should never even be televised in a UFC event).

This event card kind of sucks. Sure we get to see 3 great match ups, but when you only televise 5 fights and Eddie Sanchez is one of them, can this event really be considered a good one? I understand they are giving us a lot of star power in those 3 marqueee match ups, but Joe Silva could have done much better then Eddie Sanchez. I would have rather seen Manny Gamburyan fight then the Sanchez fight. Manny can sometimes be a lay n pray Bore, but I would rather see how much he has improved from his last fight then watch Eddie :the can" sanchez

Totally..the ufc is banking on 3 main high claliber fights..to see this card and it worked. Maybe they wanted a HH fight on this card..to add weight?…who knows. I would rather see the manny fight than the “can” Sanchez..hey he just might win fight of the night..hehehehehe..just F’n around.

melvin is the man. future champ. This forum is full of haters.

Second that…a fighter becomes explosive and shows his personality, and you all hate. This guy who is only 23, had a rough upbringing.Before his last fight, he lost his dad and it was the first time his mum was watching him fight..Damn you all hate when you have nothing really to type even hating on his name..

I really hope Clementi submits guliard all this guy does is talk bad and shows no respect for his opponents.

i like watching gulliard fight but he needs to grow up and start winning.

Hope to see melvin win this one and probebly will

I really hope Clementi submits guliard all this guy does is talk bad and shows no respect for his opponents.

no diferent then Tito Ortiz . Guys that talk trash bank on the fact that u are going to watch his fight, in hopes u will see him get knocked out. But he wins and wins with conviction, u watched him fight when u normally wouldn’t have…

Gulliard has got no heart at all, he will fold as soon as he gets in trouble. Rich will take this in the 2nd mark my words

/I sure hope your right about this one

Melvin’s a punk end of story… lots of fighters have a tough upbringing, not all of them act like Melvin. “You can’t help that life made you an asshole… but if you stay that way, it’s your own damn fault”

I understand they are giving us a lot of star power in those 3 marqueee match ups, but Joe Silva could have done much better then Eddie Sanchez.

It’s his reward for being Crocops whipping post…

I thought Dana summed up Melvin pretty good there. I think Clementi has it in him to beat Melvin. Problem is, Guillard is just too explosive. Melvin should win. Should.

I hope Coke Head loses. But if he does happen to win, I hope they feed him to Guida.

Stevenson took Smelvin out in 27 seconds.After that fight Smelvin accused Stevenson of using roids when he was the one who tested positive for coke.hahaha

that cowboy hat looks stupid to

Melvin’s an immature idiot. I love watching him fight though. Never know what to expect from him. He needs to increase his mental discipline/toughness if he wants to improve and stay consistent in the UFC. I don’t see it happening though..

i agree

Wow! Does everyone thats seen at least one show of the ultimate fighter think that they have an expert opinion?

Who said that the fight card was weak….. Are you insane?

We get to see Wandy v chuck, GSP v Hughes III, Melvin, and the UFC debuts of Soa Palelei and Sokodjou. What more do you want. Maybe they could get Floyd Mayweather to fight Mark Cuban. How many good fights do you need to see on a card. This is one of the most exciting line-up of fights in years. Granted the Chuck v Wandy fight is a little late, but it will still be a good fight.

How do any of you see Rich “no way I’m gonna beat Melvin Guillard” Clementi winning this fight. Yes guillard is a brash young fighter with a lot to learn, but Clementi doesn’t even have a chance. The UFC brass knows that Melvin Guillard is a more bankable star and they have given him a fight that they clearly know he will win.

I for one will be glued to the TV on the 29th enjoying a great night of fights.

I got Melvin winnin this one by huge K0

You aint ard’ melvin – sit down n shut up you fiend!

Stevenson took Smelvin out in 27 seconds.After that fight Smelvin accused Stevenson of using roids when he was the one who tested positive for coke.hahaha

ha ha thats funny i think rich will win because melvin is to arrogant he needs to learn to respect people and i think he will go in guns a blazin and will make a stupid mistake and rich will end the fight its that simple

That big-mouthed eggplant jigga got beeeeeaaaatttt down!

Melvin paid for the childish double flip-off when he entered the octagon. Clementi kicked his ass then embarassed him. Priceless.

Melvin, that was perfect. You ran your mouth and rich kicked your $.Gotta love it!!!

Hi!I need the entering song of Melvin Guillard and Manny Gamburyan (UFC 79).

Well, the proof is in the puddin’, folks. Once again, Melvin the Moron entered the ring instead of a fighter and got flat out embarassed.

Melvin is talented and athletic striker. Catch that? STRIKER. S-T-R-I-K-E-R. What he isn’t is an MMA fighter and that glaring gap is his training gets exposed whent he competition level steps up. Additionally, not every fighter is a Gabe ‘Jiggly Fat Ass’ Reuteger or Rick ‘Glass Chin’ Davis that folds with one hit. Let’s face it, Melvin’s mouth writes checks his body simply can’t cash.

Clementi may not be the next champion but he’s quality fighter who’s easily the more well rounded fighter when comapred to our resident chucklehead. He also has more experience with top level fighters than Melvin does.

Overall, both of them acted like jerks after that fight. Clementi will get to stick around in the UFC because he’s winning but I see Melvin being shipped to one of the lesser shows until he wises up or flames out.

Sadly, most guys that act like Melvin never figure it out until it’s too late. Here’e hoping he’s an exception.
