Both Frankie Edgar and Gilbert Melendez are considered to be among the elite of the lightweight division as both men reside as champions under the Zuffa umbrella, with the New Jersey star claiming the UFC while the Californian holds court over Strikeforce.
For some time Melendez was believed to be joining the UFC roster relatively soon, though a subsequent new deal with Showtime has shackled “El Nino” to Strikeforce for a little while longer. Should he enter the Octagon soon, how would a fight with Edgar shake out?
