Shazam! RT @jonluthermma: The rumor is that Jim Miller will be sent over to Strikeforce to take on Gil Melendez. (Props to @gui_pinheiro)...
I found this little gem while reading Loretta Hunt's Twitter. Interesting rumour and a great fight if true.

Great fucking fight. I called for this in another thread.

Interesting. Dana did say this.

Non: But you still wouldn't bring, say, Gilbert Melendez in to fight one of your top guys in UFC?

White: Not until his contract's up.

Non: What if his contract allows it? Scott Coker says there's no contractual impediment to having Strikeforce guys fighting in UFC.

White: I agree, but we have a contract with Showtime. I could see going that way before I could see guys coming this way.

awesome, great fight to make

Mike Constantino’s (@amafightclub) response to whether @JimMiller_155 vs. @gilbertmelendez is in the works? “Not to my knowledge.”

I think some are looking at the wrong UFC LW for Gil. How about....


Jim Miller, no fights booked

Straight to it, no Pettis or Miller

I'd pick Jim

I just saw gil on inside mma and gil said he wants to stay busy and prove himself against the best. He is more interested in establishing himself as the top name in the division by fighting other elite lws in the division instead of goin elsewer and fighting lower teir guys. I love his attitude and would so buy this fight if it was the main event in the sf ppv. Imo both are awesome lws and the fight could go either way

I would love to see this fight. Miller is 1 of my favorites and Gil is 1 of the best so it would be an awesome fight for me.

Hope this happens.
