Melvin Guillard holds a 29-8-2 (1 NC) record. He’s won five straight scraps, including eight out of his last nine. However, prior to his torrid run, The Young Assassin sought treatment for cocaine abuse and found himself on the inside of a jail cell.
What a difference 36 months can make. One person who couldn’t be more pleased is UFC president Dana White.
I like Melvin and I like how he’s training hard, White recently expressed. I always thought he was the biggest waste of talent and he really turned that around and I’m happy to see it.
There’s so many good guys in that 155 pound division, we’re trying to figure out who’s next. That division is so stacked and there’s so many good fights to make.
I’m excited to see him in there with Lauzon. If he beats Lauzon, it’s gonna be interesting to see who we end up pitting together to fight for the title next.
Guillard faces Joe Lauzon this Saturday at UFC 136 in Houston, live on PPV.
