In addition, Guillard gave us the last word on his cocaine suspension and had some words of his own for recently embattled Sean Sherk. Originally written for MMA Madness.Ben Zeidler: You?re just 24 years old and yet, you have 29 fights under your belt. How long do you expect to fight and do you notice yourself improving as you get more experienced in the sport?Melvin Guillard: I have 39 fights, actually. They don?t have them all listed on there. I?m improving everyday, especially with my ground game. As long as I?m healthy, I?ll continue to fight.

These fighters include UFC hall of famer Royce Gracie, Nick Diaz, Stephan Bonnar, Thiago Alves, Johnnie Morton, and more recently UFC lightweight champion Sean Sherk and his most recent challenger Hermes Franca. Unfortunately, drug abuse is becoming a major problem in MMA.The California State Athletic Commission recently released drug testing results. As many as twenty-eight fighters licensed by CSAC have violated the state's anti-doping policy from March 31 through July 6 of 2007. What's more sad is that a whopping 71 percent are from mixed martial arts alone. Shocking to say the least, considering that MMA has 14 fewer cards than boxing and kickboxing combined.The list released by CSAC does not specificy the type of failure to fighters of any discpline, however there were 28 violations reported, 9 of which a...

All he had to do was train and show up and perform on fight night.That wasn’t enough, as he explained to me on a visit to his Upper Darby, Pennsylvania training camp. |
