One of the brightest easily scales of UFC Melvin Gillard (31-13-2, 2NC) since today is the unemployed: promotion terminated the contract with "Young assasiny", to that weak-willed loss of the fighter to Michael Johnson in London was the cause.

Right after the UFC Fight Night tournament: Gustafsson vs. Manuwa which has passed in the British capital on March 8, the head of the company didn't begin to make sharp statements, but, nevertheless, stated the obvious discontent with the seen:

"There are no doubts that Melvin avoided fight all three rounds and was incredibly passive is a complete antithesis of that we got used to see from it", told Dan Weit. "There were many discussions before this fight, and each time when "on paper" we have the stunning duel, 9 of 10 that it will terminate as today. It drives me up the wall! ".

"I was very happy with this fight. It seemed to me that two such explosive fighters can really show a class, but it didn't occur".

Gillard, as well as many, got to UFC through participation in the reality show "The Ultimate Fighter" where didn't get a great success having lost in 1/2 Jason Vaughan Flyu. In 9 years in UFC it suffered 9 defeats in 23 fights, but permanently spectacular, too close to the foul, performances helped it to keep with the organization.

The period of 2008-2011 when he won 8 of 9 fights, among other became the best stage in UFC for the fighter, having won against Dennis Siver, Gleyson Tibau, Jeremy Stephens and Evan Danem that put it in one row with division elite. Nevertheless, defeat sabmisheny from Joe Louzon, and the strong recession which has followed it didn't allow it to be overcome for a title.

To look for new "house" assasin goes with five defeats in the last seven fights.
