Gilbert Melendez’s left leg took a hammering at UFC 215, but the former Strikeforce lightweight champion is making a quick recovery.

Melendez, who returned to the Octagon after spending over a year on the sidelines, was battered by Jeremy Stephens at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, but hung in there until the final bell.

The 35-year-old was dropped several times due to leg kicks, and his wife, Keri, shared a photo of the swelling the day after.

Hey All. Everyone is asking about Gilbert's leg. Here is a pic today.
