"I'm sitting here, today, getting ready to fight my best friend because maybe thee or four other guys didn't take the fight," Guillard said. "This fight has been planned long before my last fight on July 7. They already had these fights already matched up. So for me to be fighting a month later, that means some guys didn't step up to the plate and do their job."
"When I was offered this fight, the first thing I thought was, 'I guess there must have been some other people who said no to this fight,'" Guillard said. "Quite frankly, I was right about that. There was about three people who turned it down.
"For the media and the UFC to know how the division is so stacked, why aren't more guys stepping up? That's my question."
He should not be complaining about guys not stepping up. With the amount of times that he has lost fights due to a mental lapse, he is lucky to be fighting a big name at all.
He's super exciting to watch and has tonnes of talent but he has also blown a lot of chances in big fights that he was favoured in.
I'd like to see Melvin live up to his potential because he seems like the sort of guy who really saved his own life thru MMA but I'm a massive Cowboy fan and want to see him get a title shot.
Melvin deserves success but I'll still be cheering for Cerrone.
