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

Guillard (30-12-2 MMA, 11-7 UFC), who is scheduled to fight Mac Danzig next month at UFC on FOX 8, was ruled guilty on two counts of aggravated battery and given 364 days in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Bernalillo County, N.M., all of which were suspended by a judge. In avoiding jail, the 30-year-old fighter was given supervised probation through June 25, 2015, and must complete 40 hours of community service in addition to paying court fees. Sports Illustrated’s Melissa Segura first reported the sentence, which was later confirmed by MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). The assault charges came to light this past March when Guillard attempted to move from the Blackzilians MMA team to his previous home at Jackson-Winkeljohn’s MMA. A source close to the New Mexico-based team said the fighter wasn’t welcome back at the gym. After a brief limbo, Guillard took residence at Wheat Ridge, Colo.’s Grudge Training Center to work with the gym’s head trainer Trevor Wittman, with whom he’d briefly trained. Guillard pleaded not guilty to the assault charges and told ESPN.com he was actually the victim in the assault case, which stemmed from an altercation with five bouncers at a nightclub
