The MMA public has long perceived Melvin Guillard as a fighter long on talent but short on drive, consistency and focus. He still has time to change such perceptions.
“The Young Assassin” will make his Bellator MMA debut against Brandon Girtz in the Bellator 141 headliner on Friday at the Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula, Calif. What role their fight plays in the bigger picture of Bellator’s lightweight division remains to be seen.
Guillard has lost two of his past three fights.
