Gilbert Melendez hit his ceiling immediately in UFC

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

Gilbert Melendez was the StrikeForce champion from 2009 all the way until StrikeForce was bought by the UFC in 2013, his first match was against Benson Henderson in a title unifir. He would lose by split decision with many saying it was a robbery. Here is the fight if you want to watch Gilbert VS Benson , after that he would beat Diego Sanchez and would go on a fight losing skid from 2014 until his retirement in 2019, he would face killers row, as he fought and lost to Anthony Pettis (title match), Eddie Alvarez, Edson Barboza, Jermey Stephens and Arnold Allen

Edit 2009 not 2019

[Pequeño Corey]

Yea when they spelled his name wrong, I knew in that moment that he had maxed out his potential.

 

[VinceArch]

To be fair, Gil spent his entire prime years in different organizations before he ever entered the UFC. I do think he was a big fish in small ponds though.

 

[M4rk]

Giblert could time travel?

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Giblert did not do OK in the UFC.

I think he was too basic of a fighter. His performance against Eddie was very underwhelming.

 

[Thesnake101]

Giblert broke space and time.

 

[Mammothman]

He was in the bad end of all the close fights he had in tbe UFC unlike Eddie Alvarez that was always on the good end of every close decision.

Eddie finished Justin and RDA.

Gilbert never had those moments in the ufc.

 

[Disconnected]

Giblert the time travelling fighter was on a different level.

 

[Mammothman]

Eddie finished Justin and RDA.

Gilbert never had those moments in the ufc.

Anybody would have finished that RDA and Juston played right into Eddie's strengh but that is still a legit win.

Gilbert was already on his way out by the point he was in the UFC.

Rda was the champion lol how is anyone going to finish that version of him.

That's fine to say Gilbert was on his way out. I'd even agree with it, but Alvarez had a much better ufc career and fought better late in his career. It wasn't like he just had better luck with decisions, he was just better all around. He still is

Brooo


What in the time travel is happening here

[Thepaintbucket]

I'm sure USADA wasn't helping his performance either

 

[BarbellzNbacon]

Went into a backwards time machine lol

 

[Elvis.]

His last win was that crazy brawl against Sanchez and that’s more than a decade ago ,
Remember Sanchez claiming he won that because of how good he is at getting punched in the face

Proof read this and see if you can make it make sense.
Champ from 2019 until 2013 so he was a time travelling MMA champion. Is that even legal?
His "fight fight losing streak" was very troubling indeed.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Poor Giblert

It's The Curious Case of Giblert Button.

BS.
Eddie was a big underdog against Justin. Like +330 type underdog. Everyone expected Justin to buzzsaw through Eddie.
Eddie proved everyone wrong.

Edit:
Alvarez+175
Justin -245

This is coming off Eddie being a -160 favorite against Dustin.
Everyone thought Eddie was in for an ass whooping.
