UFC on Fox 8 Fighter Bonuses: Demetrious Johnson Takes Sub of the Night Honors

BAD MMA News — Sun, 28 Jul 2013 07:52:52 +0000

Heading into UFC on Fox 8 on Saturday night in Seattle, the co-main event between Rory MacDonald and Jake Ellenberger stole the spotlight, but when it came time for the post-fight awards and bonuses, they were nowhere to be seen. UFC president Dana White handed out $50,000 bonuses to the award winners, and while main eventer UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson was overshadowed in the lead-up, he walked away with the Submission of the Night bonus following an impressive five-round performance. Johnson dominated John Moraga for the majority of their fight, but once Moraga landed a stunner in the fourth round, causing Johnson’s nose to bleed, that’s when the champion stepped it up a notch. He quickly took Moraga to the mat in the final frame and diligently worked on him until he secured an armbar finish. Melvin Guillard talked about the importance of his fight at UFC on Fox 8, characterizing it as a job-saving performance when he knocked Mac Danzig out midway through their bout. Not only was the fight “job saving,” but it was also enriching, as Guillard earned the $50,000 Knockout of the Night bonus. The Fight of the Night honors went to Ed Herman and Trevor Smith , who fought on the FX televised prelim portion of the fight card. Both men are heavy hitters, and both men were hitting heavy on Saturday night, but neither could finish the other

SEATTLE – The way Melvin Guillard waited against the fence, coiled and ready to counter Mac Danzig’s attacks, you got the sense that someone would hit the mat sooner or later. Turned out it was Danzig who was destined to hit the deck, as a second-round left hook by Guillard dropped him and a few follow-up hammerfists knocked him the rest of the way out, resulting in a knockout victory for Guillard at 2:47 of Round 2. The lightweight bout was part of today’s UFC on FOX 8 event at KeyArena in Seattle. It aired on FX following additional prelims on Facebook and ahead of a main card on FOX. It seemed clear early on that Guillard had a speed advantage in the match-up. Danzig made a couple early attempts to get the action to the mat, but when that proved unsuccessful the former “Ultimate Fighter” winner had to settle for striking with Guillard, which proved as dangerous as ever. The left by Guillard sent Danzing tumbling backward.

Guillard dedicates UFC on FOX 8 to recently passed grandmother, ailing sister

BAD MMA News — Tue, 23 Jul 2013 02:15:00 +0000

UFC lightweight Melvin Guillard (30-12-2 MMA, 11-7 UFC) has a lot on his mind leading into his next fight, and it’s not about his departure earlier this year from the Blackzilians MMA team in Florida. Guillard’s grandmother passed away on Monday, and he said his sister is scheduled to have brain surgery four days after this weekend’s UFC on FOX 8 event, where he faces Mac Danzig (30-12-2 MMA, 11-8 UFC) on the event’s FX-televised preliminary-card at KeyArena in Seattle. Win or lose at the event, Guillard will fly to Florida to reunite with his wife, whom he hasn’t seen since April, and then go to New Orleans to see his sister through her procedure. Guillard said he remains focused despite recent challenges and said he’s dedicating his fight to his family. “Those things only make me stronger,” he told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). It’s been a tough year for “The Young Assassin,” who left the Blackzilians after back-to-back losses in the octagon. He was then blocked from returning to his former team at Jackson-Winkeljohn’s MMA and went to court on a pair of assault charges from 2010. In April, Guillard moved into the basement of a fighter house at the Grudge Training Center in Wheat Ridge, Colo., to get his career back on track
