Strikeforce Lightweight Champion Gilbert Melendez will likely see some time go by before he gets a crack at the UFC Lightweight Champion Frankie Edgar, as it was just announced that Ben Henderson would be next to face the champ, but that hasn't stopped Melendez from thinking about the possibility of fighting the current lightweight kingpin:

“I thought it was an amazing fight,” Melendez told HeavyMMA.com’s Megan Olivi. “Frankie's tough. He's shown it again and again. But Gray kind of laid out a blueprint for how to beat Frankie for one round, so now if someone could figure out how to keep it up for two, three, four, five, I think they'll possibly be successful.

“He's an amazing fighter and I think he'll have the belt for a while, but there is no one that you feel can't be dethroned or that is unbeatable or anyone you fear, at least in my opinion. I think he's a great fighter, but, again, I don't (label) him untouchable.”
