Who do you want to see Corey Anderson fight next?

[@SantiAgo-eg5to]

Someone not 44 years old.

[@graham.2547]

Machida💯

[@tonydominguez4349]

A legit fighter, not a way past his prime fighter

[@animatedwallpapermagic]

Paige van zant or michael can crusher page

@@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.

Terrible missmatch bellator just stop

[@randybradley4151]

Melvin was #6. Who else are you going to bring Corey in to fight his first match?

[@randybradley4151]

@Rs3 Lee Chuck is retired and is not even in the rankings. Also has never even fought in Bellator.

Terrible mismatch? That’s called MMA buddy😂

[@Wrestlelesson]

Melvin was a beast this was no mismatch Melvin is a beast he can fight anybody

[@ZBOXINGTALK]

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

[@Jason_Voorhees.]

Seriously bro, Melvin has already peaked in his fighting years ago.... I already knew the outcome when it was announced

[@tegrehekim]

Dude wouldn't last against Jon Jones.

[@shawntheone8827]

Your mom

[@stompingpeak2043]

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.

[@Mxckery]

From getting KO'd by Jan to now beating up a 44 yr old man. What a glow up

[@tephlondandada156]

Wtf did you want him to do? Keep losing to console your ego? SMH

[@nothx962]

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

[@duanechurch7283]

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

[@MegaZack61]

@@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.

[@TheEdge1999]

@@duanechurch7283 he ragdolled Jan into 30-25 back in 2015 and lost by ko in the rematch

[@HeCticCaNine]

This is why bellator is a joke. Manhoef was a beast in his prime for sure

[@nederlands6744]

He still is but was kinda scared

[@notawoke7531]

@@nederlands6744 He wasn't scared he was out of shape for this fight unfortunately he was gassed

[@SlayerofFiction]

@@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]

@@SlayerofFiction Yup. But Alistair Overeem isn't done at 40 at all

[@SlayerofFiction]

@@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.

[@ianmci]

This looks like an episode of Bully Beatdown

[@br4ndit040]

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

[@br4ndit040]

@Reid Burke my bad, thanks il edit it

[@sujetonormal3399]

Age is just a number, yoel is 43, dc 41 and stipe 39 so what Bad fighters always have a excuse

[@br4ndit040]

@@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

[@jms2116]

That's what they get pay for

[@CJ-rc5ru]

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.

[@mitchellbowman22]

No joke bellator should should atleast have their license reviewed for allowing this fight

[@tacotacotington3638]

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.

[@mitchellbowman22]

He looks huge for 5ft 8 205lb division.

[@NipplesOfDestiny]

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

[@eamonahern7495]

A skirt. A dress covers above the waist as well. Edit: and I've probably lost man points for knowing that.

[@gingersbeer1]

Corey's just needs to stay away from the camera I just want to tune out whenever he speaks
