      Kid perry is literally one of the most ridiculously durable granite chins that’s ever competed in the sport . He literally would compensate his lack of skill in technique by relying on his ability to take a shot and not be effects whatsoever. I think he’s been genuinely put out once by Geoff Neal ? So you’re comment makes no sense , n sounds like you shouldn’t really be showing anybody anything when you don’t have the slightest clue of topics you’re pretending that you do. Mike perry either puts someone out cold , or gasses in route to a competitive but somewhat lopsided contest (excluding luque fight i 100% had perry winning that fight and think you could genuinely call that fight a robbery) These people have earned the right to have their stories told honestly ..show some respect ya dork

      The rigged testing protocols robbed us of so many great matchups in the UFC. Guys like Melvin are targeted while Jon "The Pulser" Jones can commit felonies, violate USADA protocols (including and not limited to dodging testers and using PEDs) and get a slap on the wrist aka snitch on his own "teammates".

    One of the greatest comebacks in mma History. Melvin Manhoef is the ultimate Glass cannon in mma, he has a absurd amount of KOs in his Professional combat sports career (famously knocking out Mark Hunt in under 15 seconds which was the first time Hunt was ever KO'd. Melvins a natural MW btw) but even the slightest gust of wind will separate him from his consciousness. Lawlers Career comeback after this was insane, from getting cut in the UFC in his early 20s to becoming a champion in his 30s giving us the greatest WW title fights in the history of the sport. Love Ruthless and No Mercy.

    Good night, Melvin. Man, I remember watching this when it happened with some friends, damn I'm getting old. We were thrilled Robbie pulled it off but totally shocked, it wasn't looking good for him. We expected him to win but when Melvin started fucking up that lead leg and Robbie kept backing up, wincing in pain it seemed at times- we thought he was done. Then all the sudden he knocks him out cold- the house erupted man. Watching fights with a big group of friends is awesome. But now pat per views cost a damn fortune- I have to admit though, they're stacked now. Back in the day we were buying for like one fight usually- the main event, now the whole thing is good, even the prelims have some bad ass fights.

      probably because he had a lot of close wars that many considered him to be the loser of or not a dominant top guy. when I think of dominant welterweights, lawler doesn’t come to mind straight away. he’s good at knocking guys out and getting into wars but that’s about it.

Scary dude, and this shows what an awesome fighter Lawler is, inside and outside of the cage. Respect to both.
