Melendez-Masvidal Off 3/29 EliteXC, Strikeforce Fight Card

A planned fight between Strikeforce world lightweight champion Gilbert Melendez (13-1) and challenger Jorge Masvidal (13-2) has been scratched from the March 29 Strikeforce/EliteXC show.

Strikeforce Vice President Mike Afromowitz told MMAjunkie.com (http://www.mmajunkie.com) that Masvidal injured his shin during this past weekend’s “Strikeforce at the Dome” show, which prompted the cancellation of next month’s fight with Melendez.


***Also, Melendez is fighting in Dreams on March 15th so it was highly unlikely he would be fighting March 29th***

Masvidal lucked out, Melendez would cut his rise to the top short :P
