Melvin Guillard’s post-UFC career continues to go from bad to worse.
At the peak of his career, ‘The Young Assassin’ enjoyed a 22-fight run with MMA’s premier promotion.
Melvin Guillard fought the likes of Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone, Jim Miller, Jeremy Stephens, and Nate Diaz to establish himself as a legitimate lightweight contender during his 14-year stay in the UFC.
Since being cut after a loss to Michael Johnson, the 42-year-old has picked up just one win.
In 2025, he is riding a 10-fight losing run that includes high-profile defeats to former two-time UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya and ex-interim lightweight titleholder Justin Gaethje.

Melvin Guillard loses again
Melvin Guillard’s post-UFC run hit a new low when he fought Josiah Harrell on Saturday night.
The undefeated prospect, who was briefly signed to the UFC before being cut because he needed brain surgery, made it look easy as he stretched his undefeated record to 9-0 at Ohio Combat League 38.
Footage of Harrell’s first-round rear-naked choke submission win has been shared on social media.
It showed Guillard landing on his head after being suplexed by Harrell at the MegaCorp Pavilion in Newport, Kentucky.
Fans beg Melvin Guillard to retire
Fans gathered in the comment section to express their concern about Guillard after another bad loss.
“Sucks seeing a dude continue to take this kind of damage cause he has no other way to make money,” one fan wrote: “While another fan pointed out: “And he has a fight booked in 4 weeks time.”
“How is he still getting fights?” a third fan asked.
“That hurts to see,” someone else said.
“Man, poor Melvin. Just stop, bro. TUF legend,” a fifth fan begged.
“There’s a guy who has zero business fighting and yet he continues to go out there and getting embarrassed. Someone stage an intervention to get him to quit doing this to himself,” another X user commented.
