After coming up short against Eddie Alvarez at UFC 188 (video replay here), Gilbert Melendez looks to end the first two-fight skid of his career when he takes a short-notice bout against Al Iaquinta at UFC Fight Night 71 on July 15, 2015 in San Diego, California.
It's a fight that came to be after Bobby Green -- Iaquinta's original opponent -- was forced out of the contest due to injury.
The quick turnaround was a welcome one for Melendez, who revealed during his recent appearance on The MMA Hour that his plan was to compete as soon as possible.
