Undeterred by the fact that he hadn\u2019t won in MMA since his first post-UFC outing against Gesisas Cavalcante at World Series of Fighting 11 in 2016, Guillard made Wiggins pay for an early takedown attempt with some nasty elbows before he landed a knee that set up a quick finish on the mat. <\/p>\n
Guillard did take plenty of heat online for the fact that he appeared to land a number of shots to the back of Wiggins\u2019 head during the fight\u2019s finishing sequence, but the 42-year-old seemed to be in high spirits after ending his MMA career with a victory.<\/p>\n
After winning his UFC debut against Marcus Davis in 2005, Guillard\u2019s best run with the promotion came during a stretch from early 2010 to mid 2011 where he put together a five-fight win streak. His wins during that run included longtime UFC veterans Jeremy Stephens<\/a> and Evan Dunham, but Guillard exited the UFC in 2014 after going 1-5 with one No Contest during his next seven outings. <\/p>\n READ MORE: Ex-UFC champion Charles Oliveira sounds off on UFC Rio replacement confusion<\/a><\/p>\n Melvin Guillard (red gloves) competes against Derek Campos (blue gloves) during their Lightweight fight at Bellator 149 at Toyota Center. \/ Troy Taormina-Imagn Images<\/p>\n \u201cThe Young Assassin\u201d moved on to World Series of Fighting and lost a split decision to future interim UFC lightweight titleholder Justin Gaethje before a four-fight run with Bellator.
