The 32-year-old kickboxer had the perfect MMA debut Saturday on the Bellator 165 main card in San Jose, Calif., finishing Sheila Padilla in just 47 seconds.

Melendez has received a lot of hype in the build-up to the bout, due to being part of the Skrap Pack gym, in which she is coached by her husband Gilbert, a two-time UFC Lightweight contendor and former Strikeforce Champion..
