Melo is a veteran who has been in the fight game since 2011. Starting her career off at 3-4 Melo has won her last five fights. Her style is reminiscent of Karol Rosa, who just made her UFC debut not long ago. On the feet, she’s staying in your face looking to be the counter striker. Melo struggles when she throws first as her hand speed is drastically slow and open to her getting countered. However as noted Melo is a good counter striker and that comes with solid head movement. Her wrestling is decent with better top position but nothing that stands out. Offensively, Melo is good and defensively she needs some work. She’s an easy target once she plants her feet. The takedown defense also lacks and off her back she struggles as well. While she belongs in the UFC, there’s a question as to whether she can be a top tier fighter. Prediction: Starts off UFC career at 1-2.
