Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, Melissa began her MMA career at an early age. She won three amateur titles by the time she was 18, and then turned pro just two short years later. Since turning pro, “The Fury” has gone on to become one of the most respected female fighters in the sport.

With an array of submissions from both top-control and bottom-position as her main weapons of choice when it comes to grappling on the mat. Her style of fighting can best be described as aggressive and relentless pressure that combines technical striking with equally punishing grappling techniques. Wherever you put her down on canvas or up against cage fence she will make sure that no matter what your opponent throws at her they will pay dearly for it come fight time.
