@@tonydominguez4349 Anderson was too scared to trade with Melvin a dude that's smaller and older than him if he fights someone legit he's getting folded.
Phil Davis vs Corey Anderson next, this was a JOKE that he was fighting a 44 year old, he should be fighting guys like Davis or even Bader at Light Heavyweight
Well it's kinda like Corey needed to prove himself in the organization. How did they know he wouldn't go and get kod again? This was a perfect frist fight for him in bellator.
@@nederlands6744 He moved very good for his age but lets be honest, by 40 you should be done. Hell in Boxing they used to say that by 35 you should be done. Trouble is there is not much money in MMA so they end up fighting well beyond when they should. Manhoef was always overrated, his record proves it.
@@nederlands6744 But where is he going? He lost to the Current Champion by KO and lets say Francis wins, he lost to him as well by KO. In his younger years I would say he stood a chance as he did very well against Stipe, but he is just too old and cannot take the hits necessary to walk through either of them. I am not sure what he is doing at this point, but he cannot win gold.
will all respect, you guys need new match makers. a 31yrd beat up a 44yrd and you act as if its the greatest fight of the year, the rest of the fights were either mismatches or guys lying in guard for 15mins for the W
@@sujetonormal3399 yeah you're right the age isn't a big deal but i still think theres no way a former LHW contended should be fighting someone 10yrs his senior. manhoef got the short end of the stick here to promote another fighter
Rodrigo Campoy yea but that’s the thing... how many Yoels, Dc and Stipes do you see? Most people who keep fighting end up like BJ Penn. It’s just facts that age effects fighters, obviously there are some rare outliers like Yoel, but age decreasing peoples skill happen in every sport.
Manhoef might be old but he's a genetic freak who still has insane KO power. Corey will be Bellator champ...I'm from Rockford we a different breed here. Look up how bad it is out here. Rep 815 Corey! Go KO twinkle toes Phil Davis and get that belt
It's funny how you said Corey got knocked out by Jan but his yet notable win list popped up in the beginning of this video and it says he won by unanimous decision? 🤔 Something is not adding up here
@@duanechurch7283 Yea... Your brain cells aren't adding up lmao. When you see Jan on his notable wins with a UD and then hear someone else saying he got KO'D by Jan in his last fight.... Then you should figure it out that they had a rematch...... Were Jan knocked Corey out cold. So instead of trying to make people look stupid do some research or just add them brain cells together.
Melvin was on a 2 fight win streak and Corey got knocked out cold his last fight. This was a good test to see if Andersons chin was gone, Melvin doesnt hit lightly.
@@tacotacotington3638 anyone with a brain knew how this fight was going and no surprise it was a major mismatch that could have seriously injured Melvin
@@mitchellbowman22 Corey became a stand up fighter his last couple of fights, this was a good fight for Anderson to get back to his wrestling. No one would have been shocked had the results read Manhoef KO RD1.
Demian Maia is 43yrs old. (Welterweight) Aleksei Oleinik is 43yrs old (Heavyweight) Marian Reneau is 43yrs old (Women's Bantamweight) Yoel Romero is 43yrs old (Middleweight) Anderson Silva is 45yrs old (Middleweight) Randy Couture was champion at 45yrs old (Heavyweight) I could go on to list current and former fighters.
At 5:43 Geez Manhoef STILL throws so much heat behind every punch. Had that been an uppercut instead of an overhand, we might be looking at a very similar result to today's derrick lewis ko over Blaydes
People complaining about the matchup but Bellator does not have a great roster and Manhoef is more known than almost all of the other fighters in that division. 🤷♂️
_Manhoef_ is too old and too slow now. For the sake of his own health, he should retire. Congrats to _Anderson,_ but taller elite heavyweights will give him much, much more trouble.
Melvin Manhoef is a legend to be fair. Might be a journeyman but he's got some insane KOs look at his highlight. Even at 44 he's dangerous on the feet, but Corey wrestled an old kickboxer legend or not so yeah it was bogus.
The most irritating thing of this video is the narrators talking about other fights. Please keep a focus on the fight and do not distract us with other things.
Everyone involved in putting this fight together ought to be ashamed of themselves. How can they talk about martial arts and feed a middle aged middleweight legend to a prime lightheavyweight??
Who booked this shit? Why would anyone sanction this? A middleweight vs a bigger light-heavyweight. And old 44YO vs a 31YO in his prime. Good job scott coker.
Everyone complaining about this Is a bad match up. Who should the 44 year old fight? Other older fighters? Start an elderly division? It's not bellators fault this guy hasn't retired yet. People are so sensitive these days. Always have to complain😂
Whoever booked this fight should be ashamed of themselves. Melvin was no match for Anderson, he used as cannon fodder for Anderson. They couldn't of put Anderson against Bader, Liam , or Phil Davis? I'll use pro wrestling lingo as this was nothing more than squash match.
This was some BS lol they fed Manhoef to the wolves, I know he is an OG but 44 vs 31, 5"8 vs 6"3, 72" reach vs 77.5" this fight was only ever going to go one way
Total mismatch, putting in a 44 year old Manhoef against a title contender in his prime. Does nothing for their careers either, don’t tell me this W is gonna mean anything on Corey’s record
I feel sorry for Big old StarFigther such Melvin. Am I the only one who dislikes the Behaviour or speech of C.Anderson? One day, I will pay the arrogance.
Idk why Cory thinks he is a top tier fighter he wins against people who should loose and looses to people he beat he isn’t even good enough to be called a gate keeper
Complete mismatch totally unnecessary to take this fight for Melvin. Melvin have to fight Wanderlei Silva that is fun to watch. Not somebody who is in his prime against Melvin who almost gone stop with his career as a fighter.
Who do you want to see Corey Anderson fight next?
Someone not 44 years old.
Machida💯
A legit fighter, not a way past his prime fighter

Melvin Manhof is old school. Hes probly 50 years old he looks retired hes been fighting for a quarter century hes a legond
Yes-no-yes_yes
If you paid attention to tail of the tape you would know that he's one year younger than me at 44.
AGE FOUTRY FOUR !!!! ........ Corey went from talks of fighting Jon Jones to fighting 44 year old has beens.
I know it’s sad
Saddest part is after Jones’s recent performances I think Corey would’ve faired pretty good against Jones
@@kalashnikov47ful you dumb asf corey gets murdered by jones
Went from making less money to more. Melvin is a legend 💰

Why
what a trash matchup. bellator needs to completely change their brand and re hire everyone.
We still rock with our boy Corey. Still putting our town on the map. I used to love watching Melvin fight back in the day...
Rockford/Belvidere native myself. Just heard about Cory tonight on WREX
Perfect stoppage! Anymore of those elbows and he would took unneeded damage
This was a weak and unbalanced main card
Next fight : Corey vs 60 years old bodybuilder
Manhoef looked at himself in the mirror and still walked out in those trunks, respect
He's always wore the cheerleader trunks
@@419buckeye7 There Roman armor inspired trunks.
@@MegaZack61 I know I just busting balls don't tell him I said that though
Respect Melvin 44💪🏿💪🏿
Corey's just needs to stay away from the camera I just want to tune out whenever he speaks
I don’t if you realize that this is his job and he is not doing it to accommodate your feelings.
Me and Corey both from Rockford. This place makes you crazy and mean lol. lol top 10 most dangerous places to live...815!
This was sad to watch and everyone involved in the decision making process of booking that fight should be ashamed.
Bellator MMA i love watching your TH-cam videos I’m a huge fan
he's a beast. just slipped against jan
Manhoef been in the game too long he's 44
And Jimi, and Ovince, right?
if you're wondering why Manhoef is wearing a dress, it's a tribute to Roman soldiers/gladiators, and that particular garment is known as a Pteruges
A skirt. A dress covers above the waist as well.
Edit: and I've probably lost man points for knowing that.
Watching these fights with no crowd, is like eating a cheese burger with no cheese.
He looks huge for 5ft 8 205lb division.
Manhoef 44 years and Anderson 31 years, come on dude. What's is going on???
Manhof respect.

So title shot for Corey next I'm assuming. Should be fun.
Wanted Melvin to go out with a win.why didn't they match him with a more suitable opponant.
Manhoef should not be fighting contenders at this stage of his career.

Another mismatch....

@@Adam-zw1ck Moussasi
At least He got the legs for that skirt.
Melvin just a stepping stone these days. He was paid to throw that fight. Who thinks he actually fought during that fight?

Does anyone remember when Anderson had that horrible 25/8 beastin nickname lol
He should fight Nemkov next. No need to delay this. Anderson is already the best in the division
What a shit division it is
Nice to see bellator use a.i to announce the fights
Impressive showing by Anderson, good work... 😲👏👏😁👍
The most irritating thing of this video is the narrators talking about other fights. Please keep a focus on the fight and do not distract us with other things.
"This guy can't keep with you no body can." - Jan's hands say otherwise.
Bellator. Appreciate it.
So glad we don’t call Corey Anderson “beastin 25/8” anymore
Just sad
Эх попался бы ты Мелвину раньше...
12: 46 "nobody can" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Corey Anderson finally fighting his level of competition.
Melvin: “Why you stop the pony ride dad? More quarters in machine I’m all good!”
Corey's G&P was absolutely nasty💯😎
Never been this early haha timing
Lol@ the cadence of that ring announcer
Русским привет !когда то манхувт рубакой был с нокаутом за пазухой..а сейчас лишь тень
Время не щадит никого
Glad to see Anderson can take on senior citizens.
Corey is a machine literally plates and screw's and just deals
That ring announcer talks like he's voice is run by a TTS service
If Melvin was in his prime this would not have happened. Please Corey stop the madness 🤣
What is Melvin doing at LHW
"man, this some Django unchained shit"
Best comment ever
A 5'8" and 44yrs old fighter, with a 5.5" disadvantage? Sounds competitive
There’s level to this
What an embarrassing organization.
Everyone involved in putting this fight together ought to be ashamed of themselves. How can they talk about martial arts and feed a middle aged middleweight legend to a prime lightheavyweight??
Mike Goldberg coming in hot right out the gate. “TALE OF THE TAPE”! Jesus man take it down a notch 😆. Gotta hit me with that less than a second in?
I don’t think anyone will ever mimic the announcer in the beggining. Sounds robot ish. He is no Bruce buffer.
Who booked this shit? Why would anyone sanction this? A middleweight vs a bigger light-heavyweight. And old 44YO vs a 31YO in his prime. Good job scott coker.

Did he get surgery?
that's not gyno, those are breast implants

Wack!!!
corey comeback man ... - Jan Blachowicz
Corey vs tito for the most heavy headed fighter of the world

Melvin légende
Young manhoef wouldve thrown some snapping leg kicks. The fight should've been called a few elbows earlier.
Love that Melvin holds his hand up for the intro, I think he forgot no one’s cheering. Because no one’s there😂
These guys from Bellator are child's play, if you bring the cameras to a bar in Brazil, you will see much better fights...
What did this prove? Nothing , except that Cory Anderson can beat old,washed up fighters. I like Melvin but he’s past his prime.
Corey Anderson look like a dark version of LongbeachGriffy
I feel sorry for Big old StarFigther such Melvin. Am I the only one who dislikes the Behaviour or speech of C.Anderson? One day, I will pay the arrogance.
361 CORPITOS TAPPN IN
if fight is free in youtube whit no crowd how the hell belator pay his fighters??
the live broadcast ain't free
Idk why Cory thinks he is a top tier fighter he wins against people who should loose and looses to people he beat he isn’t even good enough to be called a gate keeper
Complete mismatch totally unnecessary to take this fight for Melvin. Melvin have to fight Wanderlei Silva that is fun to watch. Not somebody who is in his prime against Melvin who almost gone stop with his career as a fighter.
For context. Cory's nickname used to be 25/8......because he was more than 24/7. If this doesn't tell you how dumb he is, then nothing will.
How nice of you to share the whole fight with us.
Corey’s fighting “real competition”
