10 NBA Players Who Could Win a UFC Fight #9

Carmelo "Mellow" Anthony Heigth/Reach: 6'8"/80" Weight: 230Lbs Age: 24 Fighting out of: Representing the Team 187 Fight Camp in Denver Colorado, by way of the Red Hook section of Brooklyn, New York Carmelo "Mellow" Anthony (we got to work on dude's nickname) has one fight, a no decision, under his belt. But his fight was at the Mecca. He traded hands under the bright lights of Broadway in Madison Square Garden. You remember, Knicks vs Nuggets, 2006. A lot of pundits gave the Knicks the win on the fight. But if you look at the tape again, Melo took a very mature approach to the fight. He found himself dep in enemy territory. So he hooked Mardy Collins, and then tried to bait him back into Carmelo's corner. Watch any experienced MMA fighter, and you'll see him work to get the fight back into his corner. This gives your coaches a better view of the fight, and lets them talk you through the brawl. Meanwhile, any member of the Knicks who would engage Melo in his corner would be completely on his own.
