SEATTLE – UFC lightweight Melvin Guillard wanted to send a message by beating Mac Danzig at UFC on FOX 8. Now, after knocking out “The Ultimate Fighter 6″ winner in highlight-reel fashion, he wants to keep busy by fighting at UFC 166, which takes place Oct. 19 in his former hometown of Houston. Guillard (31-12-2 MMA, 12-8 UFC) expressed no preference of opponents and told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com), “I don’t care who I fight. As long as they put them in front of me, I’ll fight them.” Before he returns to his new training home at Denver’s Grudge Training Center, where he spent three months preparing for Danzig (21-11-1 MMA, 5-7 UFC), “The Young Assassin” will fly to Florida to reunite with his wife for a week. He’ll then fly to his native New Orleans to spend two weeks with his sister, who’s preparing to undergo brain surgery. Guillard stressed the importance of family in his impressive turnaround. This past week, he missed his grandmother’s funeral to complete his training camp for UFC on FOX 8.
