I think I yelled and talked to the TV more during the fight last night than I have at any TUF fight.
Melendez was leaving his right leg out way to far and if Wang had thrown a kick at it with his right leg, I think he would have been more successful than with the left leg kick getting hit by the counter in the mouth.
Wang could have shot and taken Melendez down multiple times.
Melendez needs to utilize the leg kick more often. It looks like he has good leg kicks.
Does Melendez have a fascination with the superman punch ? I have never seen so many thrown in one fight.
Depending on the matchup, I don't see Melendez getting out of the quarters. He had an inferior fighter in front of him that fought directly into his game plan and he still looked like crap.
