Cesar Gracie sends message to Dana White
The terms were not clear, however it was stated that it was multi-year and multi-fight. UFC has the option to match the offer made by Bellator.
Melendez’s head coach, Cesar Gracie, took to Twitter and let UFC President Dana White know that all of his fighters could go the same way if he’s not careful.
@GilbertMelendez won’t be punked by @danawhite if not careful our other guys will be leaving @ufc for @BellatorMMA
