I\u2019m really looking forward to the event, as well as returning to one of our favorite venues in Pechanga Resort and Casino.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At only 32 years of age, \u201cThe Young Assassin\u201d has amassed 50 professional bouts in a career that dates back to 2002. With 21 victories coming by KO, Guillard has generated a large fan base with his exciting fighting style.<\/p>\n<p>Born in New Orleans, the knockout artist has honed his skills at some of the top MMA gyms in the world including: Jackson\u2019s MMA, Blackzilians, Grudge Training Center and American Top Team, where he currently trains. During his 22-fight stint with Ultimate Fighting Championship, Guillard broke MMA great BJ Penn\u2019s record for most KO\u2019s in the lightweight division with eight, an accolade that he still holds to this day.<\/p>\n<p>An NCAA Division II All-American at Minnesota State University, Girtz has competed for Bellator MMA since 2012, accruing a record of 4-2. It\u2019s safe to say that the Northway Martial Arts-product is a \u201csubmission specialist,\u201d with seven of his 11 professional victories coming by way of making his opponent tap out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCold Roll\u201d was officially cleared to return to active competition in May after suffering an ACL injury during training. This return bout will be Girtz\u2019s first appearance in 2015, and will also serve as his first time in a headlining role.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Big match announced for August show&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5394534,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","filesize_raw":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1130],"tags":[60449,121324,121325,60809],"zone":[121871],"series":[],"episode_featured_image":"https:\/\/insidepulse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/MelvinGuillard-3.jpg","episode_player_image":"https:\/\/insidepulse.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/seriously-simple-podcasting\/assets\/images\/no-album-art.png","download_link":"","player_link":"","audio_player":false,"episode_data":{"playerMode":"dark","subscribeUrls":{"apple_podcasts":{"key":"apple_podcasts","url":"","label":"Apple Podcasts","class":"apple_podcasts","icon":"apple-podcasts.png"},"stitcher":{"key":"stitcher","url":"","label":"Stitcher","class":"stitcher","icon":"stitcher.png"},"google_podcasts":{"key":"google_podcasts","url":"","label":"Google Podcasts","class":"google_podcasts","icon":"google-podcasts.png"},"spotify":{"key":"spotify","url":"","label":"Spotify","class":"spotify","icon":"spotify.png"}},"rssFeedUrl":"https:\/\/insidepulse.com\/feed\/podcast\/inside-pulse","embedCode":"<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"V3ks28hKCR\"><a href=\"https:\/\/insidepulse.com\/2015\/07\/15\/bellator-mma-141-news-main-event-of-melvin-the-young-assassin-guillard-vs-brandon-cold-roll-girtz\/\">Bellator MMA 141 News: Main Event Of Melvin \u201cThe Young Assassin\u201d Guillard vs. Brandon \u201cCold Roll\u201d Girtz<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" src=\"https:\/\/insidepulse.com\/2015\/07\/15\/bellator-mma-141-news-main-event-of-melvin-the-young-assassin-guillard-vs-brandon-cold-roll-girtz\/embed\/#?secret=V3ks28hKCR\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" title=\"&#8220;Bellator MMA 141 News: Main Event Of Melvin \u201cThe Young Assassin\u201d Guillard vs. Brandon \u201cCold Roll\u201d Girtz&#8221; &#8212; Inside Pulse\" data-secret=\"V3ks28hKCR\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\"><\/iframe><script>\n\/*!
