Gilbert Melendez och Diego Sanchez bjöd nyligen på en av årets mest underhållande matcher, då de möttes vid UFC 166 i Houston. Melendez to slutligen hem vinsten via ett enhälligt domslut, och även fast Gilbert helst vill möta någon som kan ta honom till ytterligare en titelmatch så kan han tänka sig en returmatch mot Diego.
Här kan ni läsa vad Melendez hade att säga om Sanchez och möjligheterna till ytterligare ett möte, via ”FightMagazine”:
I feel like I won every freakin round. I feel like he got hit a lot. If he’s saying that it was a draw. I think he’s a little delusional in that. You gotta say what you gotta say when you lose, to keep yourself in the right mentality, and feel like you’re still relevant, to campaign for yourself.
I could have went two more rounds. You know what I mean? I felt like I was on to something. A lot of times he’s the guy that fires away and gets tired and I start attacking. They got a lot of timeouts for him. They weren’t going to stop it in the third round, there was no reason to call timeouts. I could go on and say how I feel, but I’m just happy I won. I feel I won every round. I think he is a little silly for saying that but he’s a weird guy. Sometimes he’s complimenting and sometimes he’s disrespectful, and I don’t think he even knows it.
It seemed like Dana loved it. He was just ’Diego, Diego, Diego.’ I was waiting for my compliments and it was ’Diego.’ I think it is something they do want to see. They’re talking ’World War, lets do it in Mexico City.’ To be honest, that’s easy money. That was pretty good for me. If he thinks it was competitive I’ll be more than happy to bust him up again.
But let’s not get it confused, my goal is to get the title as soon as possible. I want who’s next, either Josh Thomson or Anthony Pettis.
Om vi får se ytterligare ett möte mellan Gilbert och Diego får framtiden visa, men nog finns det en hel del alternativ på matchningar för de här två kämparna.
