Sad to see. The guy should be retired and moved onto something else but the transition for fighter's to new careers is difficult.
Cautionary tale for young up and coming fighters.
Man that doesnt seem like a good idea for him. I just went and looked at his record. He has lost his last 4 fights via TKO/KO and has missed weight in 6 of his last 10 fights. I hope he can soon find a way to make a living without scrambling his brain.

You'd think he'd maybe make the decision to move up in weight. Obviously lightweight is a struggle, if that's where he still is anyway.
Just another company he's going to get knocked out in
that dude's best days were behind him in 2011
I'm having some deja vu here. Wasn't he one of the first ufc guys to do some bareknuckle fights when it became a thing a few years back?

The first thing I thought when reading OP.
I'm getting to the point where I have a running tally of guys I REALLY don't wanna see fight again because I fear the possibility of CTE. Guillard is one of them

Guillard is a fucking garbage person so I have no problem with it

Are there a juicy story behind the hate?
He had a pretty clean looking KO last fight I saw him in. Granted, it was in a bar, but the comeback has to start somewhere.

Vuillard is a strange cas as he had the physical tools many fighters would kill for yet his fight iq never matched up…he trained with great camps yet never really got better …just goes to show you how important the mental aspect of fighting is…
As far as BKFC goes, I find it almost sad when I hear of older, once popular Mma fighters entering bare knuckle events…it’s just a bad way to earn a buck in your late 30s and 40s
Vallie-Flagg is gonna bust Guillard up in the clinch.

I agree. I used to love watching him fight but unfortunately he was always susceptible to getting subbed far to often.

Im pretty sure he choked out some chick. As well as beating up people in bars and shit like that.
Love him or hate him, he will do well in BK
They picking up all the old MMA bangers.
jonnierockets20 -Love him or hate him, he will do well in BK
On what evidence?
