Gilbert Melendez: Mitsuhiro Ishida verbal greasing allegations are 'weak'

his allegations are weak but so is melendezes’ game, that was such a lame fight, neither guy did anything impressive

Sourgraping is indeed a good way to get back at your opponent. Hehehe!

This stuff is so dumb. They need to set some rules in place that a fighter needs to shower or rinse off before the fight.

Any fighter can put on sunblock or something and then when he sweats it comes out of his pores.

Shouldn’t they be smart enough to put some rules in place so that people can stop making excuses.

wow brendan are you serious? melendez looked awesome in that fight

JJ ur one of the rare few that gets it! That is pretty damn close to what is going on with slick fighters. However even showering before the fight doesn’t do the trick, using a special soap or something that drys out the skin while showering might work… Imagine referee’s watching MMA fighters shower before fighting? lol… not going to happen!

Ishida had no really good attempts at shots on MElendez. The one takedown he got was on account of Melendez not sprwaling quick enough. Other then that Melendez was flawless on sprawling. Ishida had no chance for a takedown. Gilbert was the better and more complete fighter. He out boxed, out wrestled, and out defensed Ishida in every way, shape, and form. This is just sour grapes for getting owned for 3 rounds. Ishida is lame for even verbally making these claims. Give him another rematch after The Punk, so the one dimensional wrestler can catch another beating in the cage.

brendan — Dude, you must have watched a different fight. That fight was just about the most exciting fight of the four televised fights. The Mousasi fight was awesome, too.

brendan: I like you, but you need to Fock off wit that statement…..to, me that was one of the most impressive performances of the year! If you know anything about Iishida, then you have to be impressed by el nino. He looked amazing, nullifying Iishida’s entire attack. His takedown defense was liddell-esque, and he was throwing fast,crisp, and powerfu hands the entire time. He was masterful at finding his range early on.

For me, that was one of the best performances of the year. Those are the types of performances I envisioned out of Gilbert, when I raved about him after Pride. Looks like Gilbert is coming into his own!

I would love to see Gilbert vs. Alvarez!

Melendez looked superb that fight, he came in with an excellent gameplan and outclassed Ishida. I can’t stand excuses from defeated fighters so Ishida and Dream can bugger off as far as I’m concerned, Gilbert fought the perfect fight and beat his one dimensional opponent, who should be looking at how to improve his all round game instead of doing a BJ. Making excuses doesn’t help you improve, it just keeps you from working on your weaknesses and allowing your delusions to stop you from fulfilling your potential, plus it’s shocking sportsmanship and very disrespectful to the winner.

Hopefully Gilbert will finally get his shot at Aoki in Japan and the title unification fight with Thomson will happen at the next SF event.

naw thompson willl just say hes hurt a week before the fight again and gilbert will fight his 3rd guy on a weeks notice in a row

The Negation… ah’’ u remembered my name.. why did u change from MMA Junkie? I only went to DAVE A because Mania had Thorazine as spam… not until Kevin suggested to email Mania did I get it back… call me Dave anytime… or dumbsh*t if I disagree with u!

Dry skin absorbs lotion, skin just feels soft or smooth, nothing unusual, releases when sweating…makes the body slick. Now I have to go work on my Quantum Analysis Thermodynamics Theory.

So…you agree with me?

What is your basis of the “Not the way it’s done Intro” statement if you agree with me?

Nothing like arguing for the sake of hearing your own voice (or, reading your own text).

I missed yr point.. got it now, sorry Intro didn’t mean to give u a headache.lol..interesting idea might work… just enough to make his upper shoulders and arms slick for a bit? or enough edge for the whole fight?… nothing like having it coming out all the pours in the body though.
