ok, im taking Melvin by BRUTAL KO, and here's why...
you all say his ground game sucks, but look at his fight with Ruediger. Gabe took his back sure, but he defended the RNC from a superior ground fighter for a long time. his ground game has much improved. plus i think he will be just too fast and too strong for Joe. sure Joe has a much better ground game but in no way beats Melvin standing or in athleticism for that matter. unless Melvin gets careless, i see him disposing of Joe rather easily.
this will be an awesome fight to say the least and ill definitely be watching!!!

I've been wanting to see this fight for the past few months, I think it makes a pretty good UFN main event, although I think another top fight will be added.
Melvin in his last fight anyway showed that his ground game isn't where it should be at all, and that could really hurt him here if he hasn't improved. Joe will be going for the takedown right away. The smart choice I think would be Joe by choke or decision, but I'm hoping for a Melvin KO.
