Gilbert Melendez has spent the better part of the past 17 years facing the best fighters in the world including title reigns in the WEC and Strikeforce as well as two championship bouts in the UFC.
Unfortunately, Melendez has fallen on harder times lately as he looks at his resume and four losses in a row are staring back at him.
His last fight came in 2017 when he made his featherweight debut and took home a ‘Fight of the Night’ award for a three round battle against Jeremy Stephens. Afterwards, Melendez had to take some time off due to the damage he endured but also due to the stress he was facing after fighting started become less and less fun for him.
