Melvin Guillard woke up one morning and realized that he had to change his life. Then he did. It’s as simple as that, the UFC lightweight told MMA Fighting.
“I made a lot of mistakes after my father died,” said Guillard. “I made a lot of excuses for myself, and that’s something I don’t do now. I don’t make excuses. Everything I did, I did because I wanted to do. Nobody ever forced me to do anything. I used my dad’s death as a scapegoat to be able to get away with things I was doing, and that was wrong. My dad taught me not to make excuses, and using his death as an excuse is one of the most hurtful things I could have done.”
Some of Guillard’s personal problems are already a matter of public record, such as when he tested positive for cocaine following a loss to Joe Stevenson in 2007. But beyond just that, Guillard said, was a core problem with his attitude toward life.

Of all the people who were outraged over the judges’ decision that gave Sean Sherk a win over Evan Dunham at UFC 119, the first one to let it go and move past it might have been Dunham himself.
Others – including UFC president Dana White – can put a mental asterisk next to the defeat in the record books if they want, but don’t expect Dunham to join in.
“I definitely had a period where I thought a lot more about it, but it’s over. It’s done,” said Dunham. “I don’t think [Sherk] won that fight, but I see it for what it is. I don’t think about it too much anymore. I’ve got better things to do, like get ready to fight on the 22nd. It was a good experience, and it felt good to perform well against someone of his caliber, but when you look at it on paper, whether it’s now or five years from now, it’s a loss.”

Breakthrough Fighter is a category that’s easy to talk about but hard to define. What’s the difference between having a good year and a breakthrough year? Is it just a nicer way of saying that you sucked right up until January 1st?
These are difficult questions, so to help me answer them I turned to MMA Fighting’s Ariel Helwani for a spirited, though friendly debate. At least it started out friendly. Then it quickly turned into every other debate we’ve ever had, which is to say long, fierce, and entertaining…from a distance.
By all means, let’s let Ariel start us off.
Ariel Helwani: Look, Ben, I already know what you’re going to say upon hearing my pick for Breakthrough Fighter of the Year: a bunch of fighters won four fights this year. A bunch of guys won titles. A bunch of guys won no. 1 contender spots. A bunch of guys were involved in potential Fight of the Year candidates. A bunch of guys added scintillating knockouts to their highlight reels.
