Melvin Manhoef vs. Yoel Romero
You can thank Melvin for his sports career on Instagram - instagram.com/melvinnomercymanhoef/
Guess, he'll be pleased to see some support.
Oh wow I hope this fight happens. Madness.
Jesus Saves, John 14:6 amen 🙏🏾
Melvin too old
@@dontaewashup981 Preach brother. They both are. These types of match ups would have moved me 10 years ago.
Melvin is one of the best K1 fighters alive, but that was many moons ago
Best exciting mma fight manhof vs cyborg
Win or loss this brother gave his all and entertained the crowd for years. A true gladiator.
Гладиатор - раб, в данном случае это американский раб😁
He is ur brother?
@@hillbilly904 Yes, he's our brother, punk!
Solid
True!! Melvin Vs Cyborg It's one of the craziest things I've ever seen in MMA!
This man fought anyone, anywhere and anytime. Always brought the intensity. Total legend.
Could he have knocked out Tyson in Tyson’s prime?
@@taoist32 if it was like a punching and kicking affair I could def seeing it
@@taoist32 No
@@taoist32he slept mark hunt
@@taoist32 yes fool
Give this man his flowers while he's still above ground, definitely made a place for himself in the book of legends. 👊🏾💪🏾
I think it's poetic that Melvin's parents trained him to play football, and he chose fighting. Then he trained his son to be a fighter, and the kid chose football.
I just goes to show, if you really want your kids to do something, tell them not to do it.
Reverse psychology.
Soccer ⚽ sucks
There are just some people you can't fight. 🔫
@@billyshupe5239it so gay
All his accolades speak for themselves, but anyone that can sleep Mark Hunt with one punch like that is a bonafide LEGEND.
Was hoping to see this comment.
Especially after watching Mark Hunt eating crocop's kicks to the face for fun.
Do you think he is natural?
His acolades? I guess you're talking about the sheer amount of steroids he took lol
Yeah steroids are good
I remember reading an article of some guys attempting to rob Melvin Manheof's house. They drove off and he drove after them, ran them off the road with his car and crashed, broke their window and ripped them out of their car and they went on their hands and knees and surrendered lmao.
Honestly... probably bullshit.. but my mind will let this one slide for the hoof ;)
@@Durx1 How's it prolly bullshit? They talked about it in this video
@@jbtripleog522 oh shit a CZcams video said this? Dammm rolled
@@Durx1 it was on the Dutch news. He gave an interview about it. It happened.
@@CriticalCoen any actual links or just this video and you two black belts?
Truly a man who abide by the warrior code, show mercy to a downed opponent. Much love.
So much quality in the making of hese videos make me come back and watch them again and again.
just don't never change your commentator he is absolutely awesome and unmatched.
The way he fully commits to every punch and kick is amazing to watch
Yes I can see how committed he was behind most of his strikes, it's surprising he hasn't killed some of the fighters. Still needs to work on his ground game though.
Mr Manhoef is a very powerful bloke. One of the most terrifying kickboxers on the planet. NO MERCY.
Against Robbie lawler yeah i highly doubt it 🤣
Powerful? Yeah, because he took steroids... all guys back then did lol
Melvin vs Cesar cordoba...
@@edit11 And who has the better record? Yeah I thought so
@@Chazaq lol you again. Im not sure why are barking about this 4 week comment lol. This was leading up to his last fight against yoel Romero.
CroCop's 'morgue' leg couldn't drop hunt but Melvin could. Absolute must watch for any fight fan. Legend.
there are mma that cant really street fight.
But he has the style of a streetfighter with martial arts training.
Savage dude.
Dude was a walking muscle lol that sheer power was just absurd.
Still is lol, Yoel has his work cut out for him
@@SurrealCereal it's wild he's still competing at the level he is, some people are just built different
Should have been a boxer. Won all his fights with punches, lost all his fights with submissions
Did I some how miss his fight with Tim Sylvia on here? Maybe I got distracted for 10 seconds. I didn't see it on here. That was a big event and accomplishment.
My boy robbie lawler put him to sleep 😴
Dude Melvin is a true OG. He started in the 90s and carried his explosiveness even late in his career which is unusual unless you have freak genetics. 25 year fight career. I cannot think of any other fighter who had a combat sports career as long as Melvin's. A true legend and pioneer of the sport.
freak genetics? yeah, juiced
@@38Heretic dude juice or not freak genetics for sure. Roids dont miraculously make people fast and explosive. Increases strength and makes recovery faster. Freak genetics 100%
dudes roided out of his brain man
@@38Heretic probably, but not definitely. I had a friend who was jacked af at 56. He was 6’4” and a wall of muscle, just great Congolese genes.
@@38Heretic I was thinking the same thing, look at him compared to everyone of his opponents, the dude looks like Arnold in his prime
Akiyama's judo takedown of Melvin was absolutely sublime!
I love how you have so much unseen footage in your documentaries. That's a huge plus because fans have seen everything. So I thought.
0:47 him dragging buddy into that punch was amazing
That was cold
Absolute horror 😭 i would have nightmares of that moment if i was that dude 😔
Some mortal Kombat shit, get over here finish him! 💀💀
It's fucking scary bro I would have nightmare for the rest my life if someone did me like that on the ground
Melvin Manhoef is 1 of the great fighters of the Netherlands. Much respect for him, the enormous fighting spirit is amazing. Where others go down, Melvin goes on.😎
Perfect build/ genetics for fighting. Just heavy enough to be extremely powerful while maintaining his fast speed, exceptional hands, great leg/ knee kicks. He became even better with his new found ground game later on. Solid fighter for some time💪 Everyone falls in the end but I look at the positive and remember all these fighters greatest achievements, that's how the mindset should be for all 💯
As a Dutch kickboxing fan i just love how he finished his training sequence with the lowkick while he was out. #legend
Very good video man, especially the older stuff.
My man, you make great MMA biopic vids. You really convey the fighters characteristics incredibly well.
Man.........Thank you so much for this highlight reel of Melvin! He was such a badass! Just a complete beast in there!
Such a warrior. Gotta have respect for a legend like Melvin!
Melvin is an absolute legend 👑 We are blessed with a lot of legendary fighters in the Netherlands ❤
This guy shook my hands 20 years ago! Such a happy memory , absolute Legend!!! (My stepfather used to train with him)
Ur hand is still k.o.
@@jere1340 I have one big mutated finger on my right hand now...
@@xinixproductions. 😂
does your hand still hurt?
@Simon Paterson he honestly doesn’t even look juices. Some dudes really are built like that. And then you add in the fact he’s literat been training his whole life. Sounds like you hating to me
Dude was extremely accurate. I think that was his main gift honestly, besides the insane strength.
its scary
the gift of roids helps
@@highsnburgers4862 I hear you Brandon.
@@highsnburgers4862 they were all on steroids lol
@@libenhagos9335 @Liben Hagos Roid up to the gills Romero 45/46 years old beat his arse😅😂😂😂😂
Melvin was a born to be fighter & one of greatest of all the time,very brave in the Ring,unbeatable, I reckon one of best pound to pound fighter,what he done in the Ring was remarkable,GOD BLESSED HIM
I remember this guy from 20 odd years ago, it’s mental to think he’s still here doing ‘Melvin Manhoef’ to this day!
This guy broke my heart when he knocked out Mark Hunt. Became a fan afterwards, this is the style of fighting us polys love, aggressive and ferocious attack.
My boy robbie lawler put him to sleep 😴
That may be the style poly’s like but with my experience… can throw a heavy punch but can not take even a small punch 🤷🏽♂️
@@Jibril_Muhammad nigga got a weak chin
@Jibril_Muhammad have Hou ever hit a poly its like punching concrete

@@Chazaq sorry im not sure why u are here still commenting ? This was before he fought yoel Romero and i hope you saw his performance that night
@@edit11 and prime nick put robbie to sleep whats your point?
@@Chazaq and yo boy and my boy got finished in his last fight
Seems he only loses when it’s on the ground. No1 tough enough to stand and bang with him, guys a beast.
Such a warrior especially being shorter than almost all his opponents. His an inspiration.
Melvin is a fearless Warrior with the heart of a Lion.
The Dutch Windmill 😁, Jesus the relentless swing of his arms often made his opponents pay dearly. What a Powerhouse and true Gladiator and very entertaining. No Mercy 👊👊
Manhoef had amazing timing, the first strike that connects whips his opponents head directly into the second punch he throws amplifying the power of the strike. You can see a decent example of this in the fight against Mark Hunt.
Nice video Melvin has got a new fan!!!
I loved watching him in K-1 .. There was nothing like watching his power connect with his punches 👊🏽 to the head or chin and watch his opponent get knocked out in a heartbeat. He definitely was a fun MMA fighter to watch as well. His POWER was beautiful to watch.
What a beast. You can tell he just loves parting people with their conscious.
Steroids in those gloves
@@cody3335 everybody was using steroids lol but i doubt he was using steroids from the looks of his muscles and height
Lol dummy
@@dim1193 well by the look of his muscles.... I dont know man. Plus all those explosive punches 👌😂. different days🤷♂️
@@Tony-fx9ky humans are capable of explosive punches lol and he's short so hes going to look bulky, mike tyson for example
The level of these documentaries is top notch 👍👍. Thank for your hard work on these videos. I can only imagine how much work each one takes, with the research and editing. Really enjoying this channel. Cheers mate
He was a beast as a kid. A true warrior.
What a freaking athlete and total beast!! This man reigned many a moon!! Hats off to an amazing career!!!
Yea bro this man is nightmare to enemy fuckin beast 💪💪💪
Yes but the video does not show the reality, he has no chin and grapling, in Kick boxing most of his losses were by ko(14), and in MMA he was always an irregular fighter
@@Martin-tj9ug So he Who give a FVK
HE ALWAYS GO FOR THE K.O
if melvin fights ALWAYS sensation
No point fighting
He COME'S TO FIGHT
Legend. Always love watching him fight.

He will sorely be missed and had a great run in the sport no doubt
This was Amazing! I've never heard of this man until Now! Very impressive!
One of the coolest and scariest things ever was getting on the mats at American Top Team and my training partner was Melvin wearing a white belt.
Yeah sure
And I did Cyborg's bottom surgery.
The effort you put into your videos is insane!
Thank you a lot for this!
Yessir his videos are dope AF 😎 all of em
Melvin will always be hands down one of the best fighters to watch.. ever. He had zero fear and gave zero fucks about getting knocked out. His combos were absolutely nasty and every strike he ever threw was going for a knockout. Epitome of all gas no brakes.
Him and de Santos gave everything 😂
15:48 man got ragdolled from that kick lol
What a Power Puncher incredible. Good Job on Editing this Beast!!!

@@edit11 with a lucky shot to save his life basically but it happens. I'll take him over Lawler any day. Lawler would've never stood a chance against Hunt and would've never agreed to fight him. I'd take Manhoef over Lawler right now too.
@@bos3835 I'll take Romero over both of them now lol
@@MrRobjs83 agreed! Imagine prime Romero against prime Manhoef? I'd definitely pay to watch that. Still can't figure out how Romero never won the title. Romero and Manhoef would be a great fight today, they're close in age.
@@MrRobjs83 I just googled their age and see Romero already destroyed him before!
0:55 That man behind him is Mike Passenier, an absolutely legendary coach. Proprietor of Mike's Gym where Melvin trains.
Mike Passenier
He only lacked grappling and wrestling skills to be perfect. What a punching power: precision and speed !
Mel looks good in a fight even when he loses!
A true legend!

Did not feel like a 30min video it was awesome
he second video I have seen of this channel and I have to say: This is the absolute best mma channel I found on youtube. Thank you for another perfect video.
Great compilation!! Not too long and not too short, and the added commentary does it even better!! ❤
"santo's arms are getting heavy, as were the punches of the pressuring Manhoef" masterpiece line
Some of these fights are intense!! Tanks emptied! Taking a breather and going again.
Great job my friend,👌It was an honor watching Melvins Fighting Career develop over the Year's.The Guy's a Beast;And still today ,a force to B reckoned with!
🤜☠🤛
When people ask me why I oove Dutch Style Kickboxing so much, I show them Ramon Deckkers and Melvin Manhoef knockouts. No disrespect to any of the other Legends, these two are simply my favorite to watch.
The fact that this guy is compared to Tyson really shows how much influence Iron Mike has had across the martial arts.
Some guy on the internet compared him to Tyson. Absolutely nothing about this guy when it comes to boxing is like Tyson
@@edwells4769 well the comparison is based on the dominates
@@FloydWhoElseTVhe doesn’t dominate tho. He has a decent record but was never some unstoppable force
Imagine how well he fought against bigger opponents as he was't "real" heavy weight with frame of 173 cm (5 ft 8 in) and 93 kg (205 lb). Melvin has been always one of my favorite fighter due to his explosiveness💪
Damn 5'8 205lb solid af scary!!!
One of the best fighting profiles I’ve ever seen. Incredible video. ❤
Thx. Great video
He's like a created fighter with his stats maxed out 😂

A real legend, thanks for sharing 🙌
Thanks for sharing. I'd never heard of him before. Wonder how he would have gone in the UFC. I liked his super aggressive style. Gives you a glimpse of how Tyson might have gone back in the day.
He'd get his azz kicked in UFC
@@BruceLee-xn3nn so would you bruce
@@BruceLee-xn3nn lmao.. by whom?
@@BruceLee-xn3nn his Mark Hunt knockout was impressive, but certainly didn't do well against Robbie Lawler. Not sure what other UFC alum he fought. I think he would have struggled as UFC is so balanced with the standing and ground games, they just would have taken him down and submitted him.
only If he moves to light weight , can you even imagine Silva or Jones or gsp vs Melvin , they would pick apart melvin
There's one thing you've gotta respect about Melvin , regardless if the man loses a match , he always comes back to win and he isn't afraid of getting hit . So thank you Melvin for your passion for MMA, you'll never be forgotten 💯😎🙏🏻😇👍
man all of your videos are awesome af
so melvins parents wanted him to be a soccer player and he chose MMA, and then he wanted his son to be a MMA fighter but he became a soccer player? nice. :D
All he his son has to do now is wish his kid will be homeless and he will end up being the father of a billionaire 😂
If his parents sent him to bjj , he’d be one of those dominant 10year champs
Thank you for these videos. You film the in a way that helps a person seem to get to know these warriors personally.
Great video !
great video !
quality content, one of my new favorite MMA channels. keep it coming!
This is not a punch... this is a rocket!
Rip them jaws 😬
Can’t believe this guy has been fighting since 1995. I think he’s still active isn’t he? And still super explosive? I’m 34 right now and already getting old myself, and this guy was fighting when I was 5 years old in 95
The archetype of an explosive fighter and absolute brawler
Big respect to Melvin, i had an honor too watch him live and big respect to my late friend, legend and an inspiration Ramon Dekkers, rest in peace my friend
