Spend Your Wednesday Morning Getting to Know Gilbert Melendez and The Skrap Pack a Little Better

(Video courtesy YouTube MovieMaker76)

When most people think of The Skrap Pack this is the image that comes to mind:

Well, most of us didn’t live in Gilbert Melendez‘s California gym for two months to film a documentary on El Nino; otherwise we would know that The Skrap Pack is now actually the name of the Strikeforce lightweight champion’s up-and-coming fight team, not the coalition of pain of the same name he started with his Team Cesar Gracie blood brothers Jake Shields and Nick and Nate Diaz.

The resulting short web doc above, titled "The Fighter," gives a glimpse into what goes on in Melendez’s gym on a daily basis and the relationship he has with his fighters. If anything, it will leave you wanting more.

that was the most poorly uniquely oddly-structured first sentence/paragraph i have ever read. you twisted clauses around and made sure everything was packed in, but at what cost?

@ myklhoey
Calm down so you can spell bro. I feel u tho!

I can't wait to see how many of those dudes, if any, become big names. Was that "Handsome" Matt Wyman training with Gilbert?

Although I'm a fan of the Diaz bros., I sure am glad they didn't interview them for this little documentary. It might of ruined it.
