UFC veteran Melvin Guillard isn’t done fighting just yet. The 36-year-old was once one of the best lightweight fighters in the world. Right now, though he is far from his best. The American is without a win in 11 fights. He’ll look to get back in the win column Erick Lozano (13-16) next month.

‘The Young Assassin’ will fight Lozano on Michigan-based MMA promotion Lights Out
Championship. Guillard will headline the February 8 card at The DeltaPlex Arena
in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The event will stream on FiteTV.

In his last outing Guillard lost at United Combat League 32. The former UFC fighter was beaten in a unanimous decision by Terry House (8-13). Before that he was knocked out by Takanori Gomi. It’s a far cry from his best days. At the peak of his powers Guillard scored wins over the likes of Jeremy Stephens, Evan Dunham, Gleison Tibau and Dennis Siver.

Since leaving the UFC, Guillard has fought anywhere and everywhere but
rarely been successful. Bellator, WSOF, Rizin FF, and Bare-Knuckle Fighting Championship
are just some of the organisations he’s fought in. His only win during
the last 11 fights came against David Rickels at Bellator. However, that win
was overturned as Guillard tested positive for a banned substance. His last legitimate
win came under the World Series of Fightin banner in 2014. ‘The Young Assassin’
blasted out Gesias Cavalcante for the promotion
six years ago and has not tasted true victory since.

Despite his losing record Lozano is likely to cause an upset next month. He has won five of his last six fights. In his 13 career wins, he has finished all but two of them inside the scheduled distance. Check out the fight poster below.

Can Melvin Guillard get back in the win column against Erick Lozano?

Move over, BJ Penn — Melvin Guillard is also brawling with civilians and he’s delivering the knockouts as well.

Footage from June 15, 2018 obtained by TMZ was recently released showing Guillard working as a bouncer at Ginn Mill in Denver. As one bar patron was being removed from the premises, another walked up to the entrance only to be greeted by Guillard who proceeded to knock him out.

You can see the video below:

According to reports, the civilian was out cold for 30 seconds before receiving help from others. The victim proceeded to press charges against the former UFC lightweight.

It’s not the first time Guillard has knocked out a civilian either. In fact, he knocked two of them out in a different Colorado bar.

As for his mixed martial arts career, the 36-year-old has not competed since last July where he was knocked out by Takanaro Gomi at a RIZIN event. Guillard is also winless in his last nine bouts, with his last victory coming against Gesias Cavalcante in 2014.

Outside the cage seems to be a different story for him, however.

What do you make of the footage?
