Melvin Guillard isn’t done competing just yet.

This, despite riding an 11-fight winless streak that stretches across the national and international MMA scenes, as well as the world of bare knuckle boxing.

Over the weekend, Michigan-based MMA promotion Lights Out Championship announced that Guillard (32-22-2) will make his promotional debut when he takes on Erick Lozano (13-16).

Guillard most recently competed in MMA in October. At United Combat League 32 in Hammond, Ind., the 36-year-old welterweight dropped a unanimous decision to Terry House Jr. (8-13).

Since his UFC release in mid-2014, Guillard seemingly has competed everywhere. Promotions Guillard has graced include Bellator, WSOF, Rizin FF, and Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship – just to name a few.

Despite his worldly travels, “The Young Assassin” has struggled to find success, only winning one of his 12 outings. Over that stretch, Guillard has been finished six times.

As for his opponent, the 37-year-old Lozano has won five of his most recent six fights. In 13 career wins, Lozano has won all but two of them inside the distance.

Guillard and Lozano will headline Lights Out 7. The card takes place Feb. 8 at The DeltaPlex Arena in Grand Rapids, Mich. The event will stream on FiteTV.

Is he just The Assassin now, he ain’t that young.

I used to really enjoy seeing him fight. Haven’t watched one in years. He could be the fighter that tops the list of those who didn’t live up to their potential.

His last win was in 2014 and he hasn't won 2 in a row since 2011.

Sad part is he can't even whip BJ now..I'd come off the couch and beat him in under 2 minutes..I watched his last fight and am familiar with his last opponent.. Melvin also no way in hell should've got a split decision vs gaethje.. he got dogg walked and adderall bird or whatever ther fk her name is must've been judging.

If he'd retired in 2015 and also hadn't beaten his wife, he'd be remembered as a fun UFC lightweight and fringe contender who never quite made it to the top and had a bit of a slide towards the end, but who also always came to fight and was fun to watch. He'd have had a decent legacy, and could have stuck around as a coach or something. Definitely, he'd have set himself and his family up to be financially secure, while having a career his children could brag about.

Instead he's a pariah. It's pretty sad. Always know when to walk away, before you get stuck. Also, don't beat your wife.
