Gilbert Melendez made his return to the Octagon this past weekend (Sat. July 6, 2019) in Las Vegas.

“El Nino” was bested by Arnold Allen on the ESPN prelims for UFC 239 via unanimous decision. With the defeat, Melendez is now on a five-fight losing streak. He has only won one fight under the UFC banner, that fight being his second bout with the promotion against Diego Sanchez back in 2016. Melendez also lost his promotional debut back in April of 2013 against Benson Henderson via split decision.

Prior to joining the UFC, Melendez was a longtime reigning Strikeforce lightweight champion. In light of his recent defeat, the 37-year-old took to Instagram to issue a statement. Here’s what he had to say:

“Huge thanks to my team and all my loyal followers. You guys will never know how much your support has meant to me over the years. Things didn’t go my way but when you have the opportunity to chase a great moment or take on a challenge I suggest you face it and go for it.

“Even in defeat I know this experience will help me grow as a martial artist and as a person. At the end of the day I am happy , I am blessed , I am healthy , I am loved , I leveled up and I had a dang great time out there competing!!! Arnold is a great competitor , is a difficult target to find in the cage and I wish him the best in his fighting future .

“As for me I’m looking forward to now investing more of my time into my team and of course I will continue my studies as a student of martial arts. The journey will continue for #teamElNiño and the #skrappackbecause we are deep.”

Holly Holm came up short a third time with UFC gold on the line this past weekend (Sat. July 6, 2019).

“The Preacher’s Daughter” was knocked out in the second round of her 135-pound title bout against Amanda Nunes in the co-main event of the UFC 239 pay-per-view (PPV). To make matters worse, Nunes finished Holm with her own signature head kick. The same kick she used to dethrone Ronda Rousey back in 2015.

Shortly after the defeat, Holm had suggestions from the likes of UFC President Dana White to consider retirement from mixed martial arts (MMA) competition. However, given her recent comments, it doesn’t sound like the 37-year-old is done fighting just yet.

Speaking on Instagram recently, Holm said she’s still “pushing forward”:

“I always say I get to live the life of a dream. I never actually dreamed of getting kicked in the face, that’s never part of my dream. That’s like on the nightmare part, living a little nightmare, wake up every morning like, ‘Yup, that’s real, that just happened.’ But I just want you guys to know I’m feeling good and I know one thing: I’m still pushing forward.”

Holm thanked her fans for the recent support before closing out with a joke:

“A lot of heartbreak right now, but I’m doing fine, I just want you guys to know I appreciate the love and support. And if you would like to have free lip filler, just get kicked in the face.”
