Keri Melendez returns to face Emilee King at Bellator 252
Esther Lin, MMA Fighting Keri Melendez will make her return to action at Bellator 252 when she faces Emilee King on the upcoming card on Nov. 12.
Bellator officials confirmed the pairing to MMA Fighting on Monday following an initial report from Sherdog.
Melendez, wife of former Strikeforce champion and multi-time UFC title contender Gilbert Melendez, has gone undefeated thus far in her fighting career with a perfect 4-0 record. In her last appearance, Melendez defeated Mandy Polk by unanimous decision.
She was then matched up against King in May but the fight was scrapped after Bellator had to postpone or cancel several shows due to the coronavirus pandemic.
