Melvin Guillard Not Interested In A Title Run - FightLine.com Quote:
Melvin Guillard (30-11-2-1 NC) has never won a championship in his 10 year career and says he's fine with it. He noticed that anytime someone wins a title, they end up becoming an afterthought once they drop it.
Quote: |
"At this point in my career, I'm not too focused on the title anymore because guys win the title then they lose the title and it's like they end up on a downward spiral," said Guillard to Bloody Elbow.
| Guillard sees himself as someone who the UFC can test the new and younger talent against. Since competing on the second season of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF), Guillard is 11-7 for the promotion. He lost his last fight against Donald Cerrone and will return tonight on TUF 16 to face Jamie Varner. The 29-year-old has never been offered a title shot and isn't planning for one in the near future.
Quote: |
"Right now, I just want to keep competing and fighting," said Guillard. "I'll worry about a title when I'm 35 or maybe close to 40. That way, I can win the title, and be close to retirement."
