Mar 21, 2014
According to MMAFighting.com, Melvin Guillard has been released from the UFC on the heels of his UFC Fight Night 38 loss to Michael Johnson.
That fight marked Guillard's 22nd trip into the UFC Octagon, but the veteran lightweight combatant failed to deliver and his bosses severed ties with him.

Guillard was 12-9-1 during his UFC career. While he strung together five consecutive wins from February 2010 to July 2011, he faltered against Joe Lauzon at UFC 136 in October 2011, which kept him out of title talks and crushed his chance to become a UFC champion.
Such was the career of Melvin Guillard.
Just when it looked like he had turned a corner and established himself as a legitimate lightweight contender, he would get caught by a superior foe.
In nine losses, Guillard lost only twice via decision, a product of his lack of focus and, ultimately, his poor submission defense.
