Gilbert Melendez Discusses Getting a Good Contract With the UFC

MMAjunkie Radio recently interviewed UFC fighter Gilbert Melendez. Below are some highlights.

Melendez is set to make his return to the Octagon next month at UFC 215. He will face Jeremy Stephens on the main card in a featherweight bout. This will mark Melendez’s featherweight debut for MMA. UFC 215 is set for September 9 at the Rogers Place in Edmonton, Canada.

Melendez on his current UFC contract: “There’s definitely fatter contracts, but I’ve got a good contract. I can’t say (I get pay-per-view points on every fight), but there is a purse and some other things that are factored in that add up … to what we’re looking for.”

Melendez on how his team worked out his contract: “We brainstormed some really good things that were important to me that cover some other payments.”
