Alvarez on Gil: 'I barely like protein powder'
Eddie Alvarez got wind of Gilbert Melendez's recent drug test failure for exogenous testosterone, but it doesn't sound like the former Bellator champ is taking a very hard line stance on the issue.
Melendez suspended 1 yr. after failed drug test
Looks like Gilbert Melendez is out of his UFC Fight Night San Diego bout with Al Iaquinta after failing his UFC 188 post-fight drug test with exogenous testosterone metabolites.
