Melvin Paul Guillard (born March 30, 1983) is an American mixed martial artist currently fighting at lightweight for the Ultimate Fighting Championship. He made his debut with the company on The Ultimate Fighter 2 television series, losing in the first welterweight elimination bout to Josh Burkman.

[edit] MMA career
Although he was eliminated from the competition, he made his return on the season finale, defeating Marcus Davis by technical knockout. Fighting again at welterweight, Guillard would go on to lose his next fight, against Josh Neer, by triangle choke submission – which came as a surprise to many in attendance, as Guillard seemed to be dominating the fight up until then, opening a large cut on Neer's forehead in the process.
When the lightweight division was reinstated at UFC 58, Guillard began to transition to the lighter weight class. He made his lightweight debut in the UFC at UFC 60, defeating Rick Davis by first-round knockout. On September 23, 2006 Guillard fought former WEC champion Gabe Ruediger, at UFC 63. Guillard won the fight via KO with a body blow.
Guillard recently received his blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Ricco Rodriguez.
Guillard then fought TUF 2 winner Joe Stevenson in the main event at UFC Fight Night 9 UFC Fight Night on April 5. Although emotional and intent, because of a feud with Stevenson and the attendance of Guillard's mother, Guillard lost at just :27 of Round 1 by guillotine choke.[1]
