UFC on FX 1: "Guillard vs. Miller," which went down tonight (Fri., Jan. 20, 2012) at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee, featured a main event pitting two top lightweight contenders.
Jim Miller was one fight away from a title shot before a bout of mono and Ben Henderson took it from him just a few months ago. Ditto for Guillard, who fell at the hands of Joe Lauzon and his tight jiu-jitsu game.
So why not match them up and let them take out their aggression on each other?
That's what happened tonight. Guillard was his usual reckless self, coming out with flying knees, getting buck in the center of the cage. Miller stayed composed, though he did get rocked at one point and put in a bad spot.
His survival was never really in doubt, though, and neither was the rear-naked choke he locked in once he took Guillard's back late in the opening round. The tap was academic.
Guillard got reckless early, launching a few flying knees that failed to find their mark. But he kept up the attack and landed a left hand that put Miller down and had him looking woozy.
The New Jersey native recovered, though, thanks to Melvin employing a far more patient approach. Sure, he was still throwing crazy strikes but he was doing so while keeping himself steady and not rushing too much.
Unfortunately, Melvin gonna Melvin and he ended the fight with Miller on his back, choking him until he tapped. Flashy strikes are great and all but a well-rounded game wins again.
Guillard is in no danger of being cut but this marks two losses in a row to two men who have only sniffed a title shot within the division. Time to cut down or move up in weight?
We shall see.
As for Miller, who wants to play matchmaker? This win didn't earn him a title shot or anything but surely he's right back in the proverbial mix, right?

Melvin was waaaaaay to cautious
He had Miller wobbled and allowed him to recover…a guy like Miller is tooooo dangerous to be in the cage for long…and he showed why

Excellent job by Miller
took a few shots but he did what I expected.
"I am the tomato can that crushed your champion, live with it."
Pat was fucking on!
with his defense. Morecraft has good submissions
"I am the tomato can that crushed your champion, live with it."
Pat's defense was fairly amazing
Good for him. Nice KO.
Now I want to see a rematch with “lucky punch” Kongo.

Melvin needs to get dropped back down to the bottom of the division
And make him fight Nick Lentz or something

I'd like to see Melvin get back in the win column
Sam stout maybe? Tavares? Hell even barboza. Gomi. I wouldn’t mind him vs Sherk.

If you are suggesting to get back in the W column he fights Barboza haha

I know plenty about mma homeboy
Melvin needs somebody to stand with him, barboza does that. Who’s the better striker? Obviously Edson. But Guillard has the power and explosiveness to take advantage of any opening. See Stout vs Stephens, or even Guillard vs Dunham. Power and explosiveness can make up for plenty. I think it’d be a good fight, one that either guy could win….. fuckin sue me.

I enjoy that you are endorsing giving Melvin easy wins again, record padders, rather than have him actually compete.

It really looked like it was gonna be Guillard/Dunham all over again
Guillard impressed me tonight, even though he lost. This coming from me, who rarely has anything nice to say about him.
What did he impress you with
the 5 flying knees?
Im impressed he managed to stay composed for 2 minutes but then good ol’ Melvin came back
sigh, lets me down once again he does

He was really lighting up miller, the way he out muscled him was impressive too
He was handily winning up until the last 20 seconds or so of that fight, he even almost got back to his feet. Yeah he blew it by throwin as many flying knees as punches…. But still, the moments he had were impressive. He did show he is more than a handful for anyone as long as he keeps his cool

Um yeah he did
He hurt Miller badly. If he just kept it on the feet and worked his game he would have had it. Instead he decided to throw those ridiculous knees… goddamn.

No he didn't
Just because the retarded announcer said he did, doesn’t mean that he really did.

Hurt how?
Hurt so bad that he never stopped coming? Must have been badly hurt lol.
Let’s not exaturate things, however the fuck it’s spelled. He tagged him, yeah, but its not like Miller was out on his feet.

He wasn't out, but he was hurt enough to be vulnerable to more hurting

umm yes he did
I wasn’t basing it on Anik. Watch the replay.

somebody needs to stay with Melvin tonight..
Those were some “crazy eyes” right there! Like he was planning on cutting off the trigger guard on his shotgun to make room for his big toe! Fucking guy has boatloads of talent & just keeps finding a way to lose…fucking shame…no knock on Miller tho. Dude’s a warrior!

except, he doesn't have boatloads of talent.
I don’t know why people continue to believe that bullshit. He’s best skill is mediocre, and the rest are pathetic.

Let him prove that he belongs in the UFC, if he can. I think half the SF roster beats him though.

he's an underachiever, but c'mon! the guy has skills
His speed & power are beyond question, however he overestimates himself & in doing so he sells out to wings wild shots & throws technique out the window. He’s an unrefined natural talent…but coming out of Jackson’s you gotta wonder why his sub defense/ground game is still so slack. Wtf was he doing there all this time? He’s a disappointment precisely bcuz of his squandered talent….you don’t think so? Cool, Melvin isn’t doing his best to prove you wrong neither…but I can see it..

Look...
I don’t care how much speed and power people want to believe that he has. The FACT is that be has proven, time and again, that he doesn’t have the MMA skills to play with the big, or medium, or Lauzon-level dogs.
At some point in time people have to stop scratching their ass and start looking at whats been happening in front of them.

He’s an unrefined natural talent?? If 60 some odd fights does not refine you what does?
Listen i see what your sayin and i am one who think Melvin can beat anyone in the world, on any giving night, he has the tools and the experience to do so. The problem with mel is he is way to inconsistent to warrant fighting the best in the world. He is what he is which is unreliable!

melvin might just be kinda dumb. pure athleticism, crazy power and speed but he can’t stop gettin strangled. i’ve heard jits likened to human chess before and maybe he just doesn’t get it.
by nopesorryhomie on Jan 20, 2012 11:38 PM EST reply actions
Melvin was winning the striking part, he should have kept it standing and relied on boxing then getting out of range until he got the decision
prior to that knee he threw he was doing very well in preventing Miller from getting the take down, he was looking for the KO against a granite chinned BJJ virtuoso that was his mistake, plus the knee got predictable after the third one he threw, Melvin looked good before tapping but I think Jackson would have been a better game planner for this fight
"i don't think people change, change requires re-wiring and thats a lot to go through, i think they adjust and learn a better way of dealing with themselves and others ... they don't really change, they do selfless things to conform to an extent to the expectations of the ones they want in their lives ..." -Dis Vincent
yeah
Melvin is great at MMA, as long as there’s no MMA involved.

Shutting it down
And asking everyone to drop it and start over somewhere else — about something else.
It is not enough to succeed. Others must fail.
