It’s been a long time since Melvin Guillard has won a fight – of any kind.

[autotag]Melvin Guillard[/autotag] 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 [autotag]Erick Lozano[/autotag] (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.
