Melvin Guillard is now a Bellator fighter after signing a multi-year, multi-fight deal with the promotion.
A former UFC veteran, the 23 year-old Guillard had recently been plying his trade in the World Series Of Fighting organization after a slump in form that saw him win just two of his last eight fights in the Octagon led to his release.
Things didn’t go smoothly at all for ‘The Young Assassin’ at WSOF though, missing weight for his first bout which he won against Gesias ‘JV’ Cavalcante, then missing out on the opportunity to fight for the title when he again came in over the lightweight limit.
