Zion Melton begins professional MMA Career

Editorial by

Zion "Man of God" Melton submitted Connor McGregor in the Quick Fight Championships on Monday night. His developed bottom game was evident in his constant pursuit of position against Conor McGregor. Although Melton is only 18 years old, he has certainly exemplified a mature pursuit of MMA stardom. Melton has begun to train full time and hopes to have at least one more professional fight before signing with the Super Sydney Square Down promotion. Under the guide of Ace Charles, Zion has decided that his future may require leaving Helsinki, but he wants to pay respects to those who have offered him the opportunity. "SSSD quickly found a young kid like me and has shown a willingness to take a chgance on me. The least I can do is give them some stellar fights." Melton offers a robust jiu jitsu game compared to other 18 year olds around the world, but he knows the finished product is far from found, "I have to come into the gym everyday and round out my game, become more balanced. I want the SSSD Lightweights to know in their hearts that I can choke them out or knock them out. I don't want to leave no stone unturned in the cage.
