Gilbert Melendez skulle tagit sig an Pat Healy under kommande ”Strikeforce: Marquardt vs. Saffiedine”, den 12 januari. Dock så var inte axeln helt läkt och Gilbert var tvungen att dra sig ur det mötet. På senare tid har Melendez meddelat att han vill möta Benson Henderson, något som han fortsätter prata om här, via ”MMAWeekly”:
Your eyes are always on the guy with the UFC strap. Your eyes were on Frankie Edgar for a long time, and BJ for a long time, and everyone needs to adapt for the champ, to figure out how to beat them. I think about it all the time with Benson.”
If he wants to be undoubtedly No. 1, I think that would be a good victory for him to prove it or for me to prove otherwise. Another fight if I was in the UFC would be fine with me as well, but I’m ready now.
I hope everyone would get as excited as I would be about that. In a perfect world. I’d love that fight with Benson, I really would.
Gilbert har vunnit 7 matcher på raken. Senast besegrade han Josh Thomson under ”Strikeforce – Barnett vs. Cormier”, via ett delat domslut.
