If he can beat Dunham, he might be only a fight away from a title shot. So maybe his 2011 goal can come true.

I think he's the best athlete in the division. You could argue it's BJ Penn but they are very different types of athletes.

i think its great to see melvin finally maturing. hopefully he doesn't make me eat my words, but training with all the guys at jacksons definately gives him the best shot achieving his goal. if he and guida keep winning it could get interesting in the LW division.

Melvin does seem to have gone away and put the time into improving his game. I think he alsays had skill he just needed to put it all together and now this could be his year.

he does have the tools to be great, amazing stand up and KO power, good TDD and scrambles. Jackson has done a lot to improve his ground game and Winklejohn has matured his stand up and jab. His head seems to be on straight which really was his biggest obstacle to order to reach his potential.

If Guillard got a title shot he would be a bad matchup for Edgar. Guillard's speed could be a problem for Edgar.
