Melvin Guillard still haunted by that “lucky punch” from “disrespectful” Joe Lauzon

[BluenoseGreig]

UFC lightweight powerhouse, Melvin Guillard has once again been revisiting his last defeat in the octagon at the hands of submission artist, Joe Lauzon, claiming he was dropped by a “lucky punch” before labelling his conqueror “disrespectful” in his post-fight comments.



Speaking via FiveOuncesOfPain.com, Guillard said:

“If I had to pick any one guy that I wanted to fight it would have to be Joe Lauzon. He was very disrespectful after he won the fight. All I said was I thought I beat myself because I was too amped up and I was also transitioning between camps. I gave him respect for beating me, but then I read in a magazine that he punched me in my face, dropped me and then choked me out. I tried to take the high road and be professional about it, but he chose to be disrespectful about it. I want to win this fight and hopefully get a rematch with Lauzon. [He] caught me with a lucky punch and that was the deciding factor. I could see if he beat me up for five minutes, but he didn’t and it will be different if we meet again.”

Guillard has lost back-to-back fights inside the octagon to Joe Lauzon and Jim Miller and will now be looking to put himself back in title contention. Prior to that he’d strung together a series of wins but maybe took his eye off the bal when he switched Greg Jackson’s camp for the Blackzilians. He’ll take on Fabricio Camoes at UFC 148 on July 7^th in Las Vegas, Nevada.

No such thing as a lucky punch, you get hit if you fail to defend or evade....now move on Melvin!!!

How was Lauzon being disrespectful by saying a fact of what took place when they fought. There was nothing inaccurate about what he said. It's a fact Melvin. Deal with it. But STFU and stop blaming Lauzon and calling it a lucky punch and shit like that. Lauzon went in and worked your ass like a vet. He landed a solid punch and capitalized off of it. Good for Lauzon.
