Gilbert Melendez: ‘Knockout or Get Knocked Out’

“Going through that experience then and knowing where I’m at now, those reasons aren’t there anymore. This time I’m going to go for it and get knocked out in the process, or else knock him out in the process.”

“…That’s not going to be the case with me. I can’t wait to see his face at the end of the first round, when he knows he’s down one round to zero, and he realizes he’s in for a long night.”

During a recent chat with MMAJunkie.com, UFC lightweight title challenger, Gilbert Melendez discussed his co-main event slot on this weekend’s UFC 181 card.
