Benson is by far more talented and ripped, but Melendez is a really good fighter. Should be good match up. Closer than most of you think.
Well except for bucs thinking Melendez is number one in the world:facepalm:

Agree.opcorn2
This is going to be the only time anyone gives a shit about Gilbert and the UFC is cashing in on his past titles while they still have some credibility. Benson rolls in this one.
I didn't say anything about him being top 5. I simply agree that this will be a close fight. Reasons:
1. He has good wrestling and and avoid takedowns
2. Not a great, pretty good striker
3. Motivation - last fight against Thomson he was not really interested in and it showed
4. Not a tangible item, but Strikeforce fighters have been coming out strong in their initial fights with something to prove and I think this will continue in this fight.
5. I could be wrong on 1-4 and kickserv is proved right.....doubtful, but possibile.:0003 :box2: :SIB
66-94 -3.7 - time to get back into + $
I see a lot of value in Melendez here. Henderson is bigger and could easily dominate but I think this line should be closer to -150. Gilbert will be motivated unlike his last fight with Thomson.
