Terence McKenna once asked how much would humanity know about the universe if the only method of observation was through a telescope, millions of light years away. In a sense, this statement applies to Gilbert Melendez. Collectively, most of us can agree that Melendez is the number one lightweight on the planet, yet without the opportunity to face any of the top 155lbers in the UFC (or Eddie Alvarez, for that matter), naysayers will always have something to fall back on. We caught up with Cesar Gracie and Gracie Fighter OC to learn more about the potential of Gilbert Melendez signing with the UFC, along with more info on Nick Diaz signing with the organization.
