SAN JOSE, Calif. – Finding motivation to fight Josh Thomson wasn’t the grand struggle it was made out to be for Gilbert Melendez.
“It’s tough to get motivated sometimes just because if I was on the other end of the stick and I got a good opportunity, it’s a lot easier to get motivated,” he said after a close decision victory over Thomson at “Strikeforce: Heavyweight Grand Prix Final.”
Finding momentum during the fight was a different story.
