School me on : Gilbert Melendez... because...

[mrbwo]

jorge M. went all 5 rounds w/ gilbert with only one hand & gilbert didn't win his last fight decisively...

he was deff. overhyped

& i was one of them

he won me over w/ the Aoki win, but hasnt really made a mark since then....

Ty for your honesty. The thing was if anything guys like Aoki and Kawajiri were more overhyped then Gilbert. I'm don't hate Gilbert, but he's not even a top 5 LW right now. Period/.

[mrbwo]

Where are all you people in the other Gilbert melendes thread NOT Defending him? it's night and day.

[Steveomac]

gilber can be considered top 10 but no way is he top 5. Either way he is a turd

[FootFistProductions]

Melvin Guilliard!?? Is that guy considered a top 10 fighter now?

totally, he's considered that by alot of people, but rankings are opinions

melvin is top10 in my book,but in ufc, i think when you throw aoki,melendez,alverez etc....in, he gets bumped out

If Melvin ever learned a good wrestling defense or a somewhat decent bjj defense that dude could be a champion. I have started to become a fan of his, but he just needs to open up and maybe hit up another camp.

Man, it's a good thing you put that "Period/" there that way we know it's a fact and unarguable.
But just out of curiosity who it your top 5 LWs. Cause mine looks a little like this

#1 Benson Henderson
#2 Frankie Edgar
#3 Gray Maynard
#4 Nate Diaz
#5 Gilbert Melendez
Granted I know there are guys like Cerrone, Pettis, Guida (Who I think Gil wouldn't be able to keep off of him and beat), that are knocking at the top 5 door, but right now I think that is a pretty solid list there.

I'm not sure why people are so high on him... I've seen him in Strikeforce, but I'm not convinced that he's a top 3 LW in UFC like most are saying here.

imo he was the shit in shooto

Because he doesn't fight in the UFC? I suppose you think Melvin Guillard would beat him? lol

I think Melvin could beat him. I also think Gilbert could beat Melvin tho.

if it doesnt go to the ground he could. And no its not just because he isnt in the ufc

cuz his best win is vs Aoki, who let's be honest isnt even top 2 in bellator in his weightclass.

lol @you defending Gilbert by using a non top 10 LW in Melvin.

There was a period when Frankie was champ that Gil seemed so dangerous and nasty, however after the Mas fight Gil has been looking kind of shitty.
