Gilbert Melendez: "Fighting Eddie Alvarez Is On My Mind Right Now."

[Literally Bricked]

meh. cut eddie alvarez already. save us all time. hes not good enough to beat elite fighters.

I'd agree with this sentiment. I don't even think he'd be champ of Bellator.

 

[adamsilva]

great matchup

 

[That Idiot Tibor**]

It comes down to Gil's wrestling. if he control Alvarez, he can win. don't think he can though.

Jim Miller isn't a guaranteed win for Eddie.

Yeah, no. Alvarez destroys Miller.

 

[Defeat Unknown]

Since coming to the UFC I notice Gilbert has been more about talking and less about fighting. I'm tired of these guys who just sit comfortably at the top of their division without fighting regularly.

I always say this when talking about Gil but I was a fan of his in Strikeforce. I was so pissed at his situation 'cause I thought his prime was being wasted by not having much competition in Strikeforce. I definitely thought he was one of the best. But since coming to the UFC, he's maintained his level of inactivity and I just don't care about him any more.

There's some guys I don't wanna hear talk, I just want to see them fight. Right now Gil is one of those guys.

 

[Kanster]

Always wanted to see this.

This.

 

[weed]

oh shit! Giruberetu vs. Aruverezu?

 

[Cio]

Make it five rounds and I'm in.

 

[Magnum1978]

Would prefer them to both come off a win, but I'd still watch regardless.

 

[Jblizzle]

If they book this fight in Philly or anywhere in New England i'm getting tickets, been waiting for this fight for years.

 

[SimonNova]

Hope they dont keep this fight for the Mexico card in June.

 

[Jehannum]

Bellator Champ vs Strikeforce Champ. Would be a great fight.

only if you think Eddie actually beat Chandler, which I certainly don't

 

[TimeToTrain]

Alvarez by UD

 

[Sinc3r3]

Alvarez by being a better athlete with a better jab.

 

[Adamant]

Oh please God yes!


War Alvarez!

 

[Taric]

Hellz yeah.

 

[CreativeTomato]

Relevant fight then and still a relevant fight now! Book it! :icon_chee

 

[RonnyB]

Hmm.It would probably a five rounder, but what worries me is that these guys never seem to Ko or TK their opponents. It could potentially be a boring fight.

Eddie has the highest KO/TKO percentage in the division bro.

 

[RonnyB]

Jim Miller isn't a guaranteed win for Eddie.

It is

He did
