You can't turn the other cheek on rich's classless behavior just because you hate the guy he's facing because we all know had it went the other way and guillard did that(which he probably would have.) you would be sitting here calling him a punk and a thug. |
Agreed....What Rich did was classless, not funny....

Melvin has always been a punk and i thought it was funny as hell. Especially after the fight Melvin was like "SAY SOMETHING!".......after Rich had constantly been trash talking him and had just beat his ass lol

People act like this was a long time coming. If you can remember melvin refused to touch gloves with joe daddy before getting trapped in a guillotine and forced to tap accordingly in the first few seconds of the first round. I didn't see Joe stevenson getting up after making melvin tap and doing a crotch chop. Instead he showed some class. That's what good fighters do. More reason as to why you see joe daddy headlining an upcoming PPV and rich clementi getting "no love" at the bottom of the division.

I thought the crotch chop was funny as well as the wave good bye....but continuing it during the interview was uncalled for.

Remember it was Melvin who started running his mouth again really for no reason, Joe had enough sense and class to not let it bother him, but obviously Joe and Rich are not the same person and Rich took offense...
But I'm sorry...
"Go learn JuJitsu Melvin" had me laughing for 10 minutes... I can't say it looked good for the sport, but it was good, for me, to see someone put Melvin in his place verbally and physically...
Nothing good comes of exchanges like these, ultimately you're suppose to be a professional regardless of how the other guy is acting...
easier said than done though... hell Melvin gets under my skin and I'll never meet the guy...

The crotch chop and continued shittalking was a little much too from Clementi. Melvin is def the worse of the two, especially with his sorted record.

The that said this is not Ballet is right. Shit talking, thugs, assholes, are all apart of the sport. IMO most people wouldn't want to watch it if everybody was always respectful and nice to each other.
A fighter needs a certain amount of distain for other fighters to even get into this sport. They need a killer instint to to go in there and give it their all.
Point is, you need someone you love to hate to make it interesting and it sells tickets.
