BodyModifier Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 The feeling is bliss. I love when you pick a fighter to win and you root for him to win, and they win in dominating fashion. Just makes your night that more enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martino231 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I still think Dunham is a very talented fighter with immense physicality and a great skill set. Against a guy like Guillard though it comes down to how well you can take a punch. And apparently against a fighter with Melvin's power and striking prowess, he just wasn't able to survive.

I've just been a fan of Guillard for awhile and it kind of ticked me off a little that everyone was counting him out. Dunham is still a tough fighter with lots of potential. Just glad that Melvin is finally proving what an exciting contender he is at 55 against top competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slam_Man Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I don't think that fight ruined his chances of ever being champion. I think it was better how it happened, then if he had gotten beat down the whole fight. Guillard just caught him early and got him out of there, Dunham didn't sustain too much damage so he'll be able to start training soon again and get back.

Steven_McTowelie Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 We are just fortunate that Dunham did not fight someone of BJ Penns calibre of striking cause if we did we might have witnessed the first death in the Octogon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verJJ Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 We are just fortunate that Dunham did not fight someone of BJ Penns calibre of striking cause if we did we might have witnessed the first death in the Octogon I honestly think Guillard could be the first guy to 'rock' BJ, since his striking defense is pretty nonexistent.

Hes in a similar situation as Oliveira, solid talent but not quite good enough for the upper echelon just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indiglow Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Nah, Dunham just couldn't keep up with Guillard's striking. He had the fight in the bag had he kept it to the ground. Not sure what he was thinking. Either way, Dunham is very much still top of the food chain in that division. Guillard is a bad match up for him. I think he would have beaten Florian.
