Interview with Strikeforce Lightweight Champ Gilbert ‘El Nino’ Melendez
Gilbert Melendez will face Shinya Aoki for the SF Lightweight Strap on April 17th.
Can I just say this about Gilbert Melendez? He is a great guy to interview. I had my little girl running around the house while I was on the phone with Melendez and he was cool with the little interruptions that comes with having a young child in the house. Again, really cool and if you watch both parts of the interview, you will get some great news in regard to El Nino.
Now on to the interview:
In part 1 of the interview with the Strikeforce Lightweight Champ, I asked him about where the name El Nino came from, how his training is going and if there is a difference between Gilbert Melendez the coach and Gilbert Melendez the fighter…
In part 2, we get into his upcoming bout with Shinya Aoki, what will need to happen if a rematch is to happen in Japan and his contract status with Strikeforce…
I would like to thank Gilbert ‘El Nino’ Melendez, again, for taking the time out of his day to talk with me.
