UFC President Dana White, has publicly come out about the status of former Strikeforce Lightweight Champion Gilbert Melendez and his relationship with the UFC. White has stated that he has a good relationship Gilbert Melendez, but is frustrated with the management team of Melendez. White says that Melendez may need to start looking at other organizations for employment hinting at fhe fact that he might not get re-signed by the UFC. Melendez's last fight with the UFC and Zuffa on his contract was against Diego Sanchez at UFC 166 in Houston, Texas.
I really hope that Melendez is able to come to terms with the UFC so that we can continue to seem him fight amongst the best fighters in the world in his weight class. Melendez has the potential to be the UFC Lightweight Champion and some feel that he should've been the current UFC Lightweight Champion as some felt he beat Henderson when they squared off for the title. Melendez is a real gem in the UFC and represents the best of the best at 155 lbs.
