"Young Assassin" is excited to be among the Bellator lightweight division, and he wants to win a title, but he does not want to fight current lightweight champion, Will Brooks, because he's a teammate and a friend.
When Melvin Guillard steps into the cage to face Brandon Girtz at Bellator 141, the 13-year veteran will have fought for the three major fight promotions in mixed martial arts (MMA).
Guillard, 32, fought in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) from Nov. 2005 until he was released in March 2014 after losing to Michael Johnson. He finished out last year fighting for World Series of Fighting (WSOF), where he went 1-1, was pulled from a card and then asked for his outright release.
