Review: 2012-05-19, nice and balanced fight thanks to the great performance by both fighters and the high pace: Gilbert Melendez vs Josh Thomson 3 gets three stars. Gilbert Melendez (20-2-0) entered as the No.3 lightweight in the world while Josh Thomson (19-4-0) entered as the No.24. Melendez vs Thomson 3, undercard of Barnett vs Cormier, is valid for the Strikeforce Lightweight Championship title; in their first fight Thomson defeated Melendez (June 27, 2008) while in the rematch the winner was “El Nino” Melendez (December 19, 2009).
