About Melissa Gatto
Brazilian grappling with the ability to finish on the feet
Melissa Gatto reached the UFC unbeaten and with a reputation built mainly on her jiu-jitsu. Injuries and long periods of inactivity made her progress difficult, but when she has had continuity she has shown a fairly complete set of skills.
Fighting style
Her grappling remains a fundamental part of her identity, with several wins by armbar, rear-naked choke and kimura. However, Gatto also has power and has produced finishes by strikes in the UFC.
Recent results
After starting with two straight wins in the promotion, she traded results with opponents like Tracy Cortez, Ariane da Silva and Dione Barbosa. Her versatility keeps her dangerous both in stand-up exchanges and in grappling situations.
