Gilbert Melendez Can Finally Call Himself A UFC Fighter

[Morning Star]

Good for Gilbert. He deserved to fight for the UFC a long time ago. Can't wait to see where he stacks up in the LW division. He should get an instant shot or at worst a #1 contender fight.

so he's gonna tell people he trains ufc?

You mean the UFC can finally call Melendez a UFC fighter.

To support my post above, and after watching his fights, lets take a look:

Can he beat:

Henderson- No
Maynard- No
Cerrone- No
Pettis- No
Diaz- No
Chandler, Alvarez, Miller, Edgar (at that weight)- maybe

He's hardly Top 5 and he'd have to beat a top 10 to verify the hype and I'm not sure he can do that.

Guys I think I found a Kawajiri fan.

You call that "support"? Total rubber crutch. Busted springs. Cracked foundation. This is nothing but garbage opinion. He's an elite fighter, and certainly has a shot to beat all of those men.
