Gilbert Melendez did it again this week.
Melendez, the Strikeforce lightweight champion, pointed out that there’s a great fight to be made between himself and Bellator lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez, a fight that both fighters want and that MMA fans across America would mark on their calendars as a can’t-miss. And he pointed out an uncomfortable truth about MMA: A fight like that doesn’t get made just because the fighters and the fans want it. It only gets made if the promoters and the TV people agree to it.
