    What did Gil do to win Round 2?

    It was a clear win for Melendez. Eddie just did more in the last minute.

    He did more. It wasn't much. But it was more.

    Eddie had to fight a safe fight when his eye closed. Why Melendez didn't try to take advantage of it, who knows. He did nothing to win the fight. He landed the elbow in the first, and that was pretty much it.

    Cardio is part of fighting. Gilbert slowed down and Alvarez kept pressing.

    Gilbert was stupid to go to Mexico a few days before the fight. It is his fault, no doubt.

    If it was the air, than that's on Melendez. He should've trained harder.

    I wonder if Eddie was breathing different air?

    Melendez dominated the first round. I thought he won the second, but it was close. Alvarez won the 3rd and was the better fighter at the end in spite of the damage he took. I can't really argue with a decision like this. If the fight had continued, Alvarez probably would have won.

    The only clear round for Gil was the 1st, and the only meaningful thing he landed was the elbow.

    This was a pathetic non effort on Melendez's part.

    Anyways, who cares. That fight bored the fuck out of me. On to the main event.

    Do you guys think Werdum can take velasquez down, despite not being able to take Brown or Hunt down?

    I'm 0/2 so far in predictions tonight. Hopefully I'll be 0/3. I'm picking Cain to win, but I want Werdum to win.

    Like I said, if Eddie's eye didn't close, I have to think it would've been a more exciting fight. I'm happy with the win, but disappointed in the fight.

    Gun to my head, I guess I'd take Werdum just based on him being more active and looking great. Cain is the man, but coming off of a long layoff, who knows.

    I hope Werdum can outstrike Cain. I don't expect him to get a takedown. If the fight goes to the ground, it will be Cain's decision.

    BTW, this whole Cain/Mexican nonsense is complete horseshit.

    If it goes to the ground, i dont think it's cain's that easy. Werdum is one of the best every in BJJ.

    That could be Werdum's best chance. Like in the Fedor fight.

    Maybe, but Werdum is an exellent striker too. I mean look what he did to Brown, Nelson & Hunt.

    Calling this a title unification match is horseshit.

    The fake out was a thing of beauty.

    They have no connection to Cain or MMA man.
