Gilbert Melendez vs. Jeremy Stephens

Round 1
Stephens opens with an inside leg kick but has to back up as Melendez swings a counter right hand over the top. It's Stephens pressing out from the center of the cage, now clipping Melendez with a left hook as "El Nino" circles out to the middle. Stephens continues to put heavy kicks on Melendez's lead leg through the middle of the round, nearly chopping down Melendez at one point. Melendez scores his best punch so far with a right straight, but seconds later, the former Strikeforce champion falls backward due to another kick on his left leg. Melendez climbs back to his feet, but his leg does not look good, a huge knot on his shin from Stephens' brutal, unchecked kicks. Stephens goes to the body with a kick, sticks a jab, now lands another leg kick, sending Melendez back to the ground. Stephens stands over him with 20 seconds left, then comes down to Melendez's guard just as the round ends.

Round 2
Melendez closes the distance quickly, backing Stephens up against the fence and preventing "Lil Heathen" from throwing low kicks. Stephens backs him off and throws a shot to the left leg, and this time it's checked by Melendez. A right hand from Stephens splits the guard of Melendez, who has to check another leg kick right behind it. Despite the injured leg, Melendez is finding some success with his jab as he continually gets inside on the backpedaling Stephens. Halfway through the round, another low kick floors Melendez again. Stephens allows him to stand, gives him another shot to the leg, then has a right high kick blocked by "El Nino." Melendez works from the southpaw stance now, shielding his damaged leg but reducing his punching effectiveness. Stephens scores with an uppercut, then drops Melendez once again with a low kick. Stephens follows Melendez to the floor but can't produce a finish in the final 10 seconds of the round.

Round 3
Prior to the start of the final round, referee Jerin Valel tells Melendez that he needs to stay standing and defend himself. Melendez comes out aggressive, marching forward on Stephens, who scores with a body kick, an uppercut and a left hook to the jaw. Stephens has begun picking on Melendez's right leg now, chopping down the peg to which he has access as Melendez works from southpaw. Melendez eats a right hand, smiles and marches forward, straight into another right hand from Stephens. Another leg kick puts Melendez on the deck, but he rolls over and pops straight back to his feet before the referee can take any action. With 90 seconds left, Stephens remains firmly in control, tagging Melendez with jabs, kicks and knees, now mixing in some hooks to the body. Melendez takes an uppercut to the breadbasket as they enter the final minute of the bout. Stephens walks him down, backward toward the fence, and puts Melendez down with another shot to the left leg. Melendez gets up, falls again, and this time Stephens follows him down to the canvas for the last few seconds.
