S1: Yeah, yeah, yeah!!! Whats going on my peoples? You know who this is…This is the mutha fucking man S1 Legacy Magazine, Legacy Radio, Legacymag.net…And today man check this shit out, I got a real fighter and I’m not just saying that metaphorically…I’m talking about a dude that does just that to bring the food home for dinner baby…I got me boy El Nino!!! Wassup baby how you feeling today? What going on big dawg? Talk to me…

GM: Feeling good, feeling good just on the grind like always getting ready for another fight…

S1: Alright, alright were definitely gonna get into that….But I wanna just a little into your background…Young man from California, 24 years old, lightweight, you hold the belt in 2 different divisions for 2 different federations…Talk to us a little about your background, what you do and where you stand today?

GM: Well yeah I’m from Cali like you said from down south to the north living by the bay in San Francisco…I started wrestling and then started boxing, started doing jujitsu and next thing you know my buddy dragged me into fight and dude I was hooked ever since and now that’s all I do man it puts the food on the table and I love it!


S1: Just so you guys know he does a lot of traveling he fights in the states, there’s a lot of fighting in Japan, young man 24 years old he’s undefeated 11-0…Right now the champion for WEC and Strike Force holding to belts down…I know that you got a lot of training to keep up with that so talk to us about the training…

GM: Yeah I do training it’s like twice a day man…There’s not enough time in the week to get everything done…I got to lift weights, I got to do cardio, I gotta box, I gotta wrestle, I got do jujitsu, I mean there’s all kinds of good fighters out there now man and if I’m not doing it they are you know what I’m sayin…So I just gotta stay busy, stay active, keep on the grind man…If I want to be the best that’s what I gotta do…

S1: I had the privilege to check out some of your fights…You fight with an amount of intensity that I don’t think anybody has seen in the game…It looks like you go insane, relentless ground and pound…You use all your tools, excellent striker talk to us man were you naturally a fighter or were you like one of those bad boys that got into fights everyday after school or was it something that you learned as a sport it was a discipline and you matured that way?

GM: Yeah man I think there’s a lot of fighters man you know people that just learned how to fight, but I think I was born a fighter since I was young the youngest out of all my cousins you know I used to get roughed up all the time I grew up in Santa Anna you gotta know how to fight out there…Win or lose I guarantee I’m going to leave it all out there!!


S1: Now let’s talk about Pride I know that you have some things coming up with Pride, talk to us put it on the table …

GM: Yeah well Pride is a little different from the UFC man I’m on a mission there I’m gonna fight the number 3 guy, I’m ranked number 10 right now and I’m trying to prove myself you know…Pride is the shit they got everyone from around the world…I’m coming for that number spot you know…

S1: Alright definitely stick to your guns you know, believe me a lot of people have seen you fight you got what it takes do what you gotta do everything will fall in place…Any words of advice to the knuckleheads trying to get into the game?


GM: My word of advice is that if your gonna do it you better do it right no half assin it man you got put your whole life into it…I got no hobbies just training…Course I love girls and all that but all I do is train and fight…

S1: That’s definitely wassup…El Nino Gilbert Melendez thank you so much for the interview we appreciate it definitely the best of luck to you!!!
