Gilbert Melendez must be in a big hurry to exorcise the ghosts of UFC 188.
Roughly a month after dropping a disappointing decision to Eddie Alvarez in Mexico City (video), "El Nino" will make a quick turnaround and fill in for the injured Bobby Green, who was pulled from his Al Iaquinta fight last Wednesday night.
Where and when?
The UFC Fight Night 71 mixed martial arts (MMA) event on FOX Sports 1, locked and loaded for the Valley View Casino Center in San Diego, Calif., on July 15, 2015.
Melendez (22-5) closed out his Strikeforce career with seven straight wins, but has gone just 1-3 since crossing over to UFC.
