↵I was ecstatic to have my first win under Coach Jackson. Like I told everybody tonight, I started out 0-0, now I’m 1-0 under Team Jackson and right now my goal is to just work hard and try to move myself into title contention. Working with Joe Stevenson full-time, we’re like brothers now. My confidence grows because of him. He encourages me and I encourage him. Everybody there is just like a big family and just to work with Coach Greg, the best coach in the world, it’s awesome. I got turned down by a couple of gyms actually, because people really don’t know the real me, they just know what they see out and about, all the bad stuff, but Coach Greg took a chance on me and I won’t let him down.
Melvin Guillard Says The Right Things
↵Guillard looked like a smarter fighter on Saturday, not leaving openings by going for broke with his strikes and when put in a bad position on the ground he just patiently worked his way back to his feet. His hands are so fast and he has so much power in his strikes that he is a handful for any fighter at 155 on the feet. If he can use his underrated wrestling to stay vertical and develop a Liddell-esque escape game when he is put on his back, he could really make some noise in the division.
↵Knowing that working with Stevenson is a big part of his routine at Jackson’s indicates that he is probably moving in the right direction.
