UFC 136 Results: Joe Lauzon Makes Quick Work of Melvin Guillard

Melvin Guillard said he wasn't worried about Joe Lauzon's "little jiu-jitsu" in the highlight package before their UFC 136 bout. It turned out that he really should have been.
Melvin came out aggressively in the first round looking to land a huge strike. He looked reckless but clearly felt that there was no real danger from Lauzon on the feet. Instead, Lauzon managed to land a left hook that staggered Guillard. As Melvin attempted to regain his footing his legs gave out and he fell to the ground.
Lauzon wasted no time in taking the back and quickly sunk in his hooks. From there the "little jiu-jitsu" took over and the rear naked choke finished the fight giving Lauzon the huge underdog win.
Guillard's title shot hopes were derailed with the loss and Lauzon finds new life through this big victory.
With no finishes so far on the card, this puts Joe in prime position to pick up Submission of the Night honors.

Not much of a logjam up top though
The winner of Clay Guida vs Ben Henderson or Gilbert Melendez will probably get the Title shot. Guys like Jim Miller and Guillard are out of contention now while guys like Maynard and Pettis are probably going to have to climb the ladder.

Saw this coming.
This was the Stevenson fight all over again. Melvin spent too much time concentrating on the sizzle (finishing bonuses) and forgot about the steak (getting the win). You can always count on Melvin to eventually lose sight of what is important and buy into his own hype.

Nailed it.
It’s so sad because Melvin could beat anyone in the division. Hopefully he rebounds and goes for the win instead of the bonus.

No way he beats Ben Henderson IMO

I called it too haha
check my post history , non betting ‘hype train derail via submission call’
I am willing to test myself against the toughest fighters in the world, in front of hundreds of thousands or even millions of fans, over and over again. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose, but I always come to fight. I've been doing this for the past fourteen years, and I have at least a few more strong years left in me. What have you done in the past fourteen years other than act like a moron on this forum and hang on Anderson's nuts? - Dan Henderson.
I can't help but laugh...
…mainly due to how it seemed that the majority of people online had written off Lauzon as even having a chance here. Just goes to show.
Joe just hijacked the Guillard hype train...
And the next stop is a high-profile, #1 contender fight. Chugga chugga chugga chugga Woo wooooo! (That’s the train)

MELVINS NOT FOR REAL YET
YOU GET WHAT U ASK FOR WAR J LAU
Seriously he lost to Kenny who won tonight
and lost to sop when he came off knee surgery douche!
Seriously don't take me serious. Seriously....
I BET MELVIN WON'T DANCE AROUND WITH HIS HANDS DOWN AGAIN.
Edgar should thank Louzan cause Gullard is dangerous as hell.
Guillard would put Edgar away
I’m now convinced of it
Business as Usual has a STACKED team. I mean, we could win with just me, but you know.
How!
did u not watch the card tonight. Edgar earned his respect tonight
Seriously don't take me serious. Seriously....
Edgar ko'd Maynard
Yes, I’m impressed. But the fact that he gets rocked pretty easily makes me believe a composed Melvin could both rock him and put him away within a round.

psychoblack must be crushed.
Town Crier, I'd like to ask you a few questions. One, where's the fife? And two, gimme the fife.
Lauzon should be Gil's welcome fight
High profile, a decent test, and Gil should win. A step up for everybody.
Read: Toblerone Jones
I think Melendez needs a really legit win for the title shot.
Henderson would be a great match up for number one contender. Gulliard/Maynard. Make it happen please!
Psychoblack, paging Psycoblack????
Did you see that ass whooping Melvin put on Joe? Oh wait it was the other way around.

It was kind of remniscent of James Thompson vs Aleksander Emelianenko
"Then when he hit me, and I woke up. I remember thinking, sh-t, I better do something or I'm going to lose this fight," Struve said. "Then he hit me again."
"They're going to call me the Jui-Jitsu Kller when I'm done with Lauzon." - Melvin Guillard

I wasn’t shocked that Lauzon won because of the simple fact Lauzon had a clear way to win the fight. Facts: Lauzon is a beast in the first round, has great submission skills, and can hurt guys on the feet. Another fact: Guillard has had issues with submission defense in the past. Unlike other underdogs, Lauzon had a clear path to victory that was a plausible outcome to the fight.
I thought Melvin was going to win, but this attitude that Lauzon had no chance is laughable.
