I’ve got to run my business, so if I have to yank him over here, I’ll do it, White said following the post-fight press conference.

There are a couple of different things we could do. Melendez could come over here and fight for the title. But I hate to do that to guys, because everyone who comes over and fights for the UFC for the first time, they have a first tough fight and they have to get those jitters out, White said. That division is so stacked and there are so many people right at that top level, we need to figure it out. We’re going to figure out what we’ll do after the fight on Saturday.
