|  Guillard = most powerful striker at 155?
Seriously...he knocked a guy out with a straight body punch. I've NEVER seen that before. (Pride lovers don't flame me cuz I just started watching it if it happened there before) But seriously, I've always thought of him as an amazing striker. He broke Josh Burkman's arm with an attempted head kick on TUF 2. He beat Josh Neer to a bloody pulp before losing to that triangle. Then his scary knockout of Rick Davis, which you could literally hear loudly, and now this? Seriously....he just needs to work a little bit on his ground game, and I think he could be a FORCE in the lightweight division and a serious threat to whoever ends up as the champ.

I do agree he has some heavy hands.

Man, dropping a guy to all fours with one body punch is impressive. Kid must have some freakish power for a lightweight.

i think Team Punishment is definitely on the rise right now! they haven't lost a fight in a long time, and Guillard just kept their streak going. Tito was smart to tell him no more kicks, just throw and bang...and it worked. that body shot was SICK! Melvin will definitely be a force at 155. ill bet him and Lauzon fight for the #1 contender spot to face the winner of Florian/Sherk.
