UFC lightweight fighter Melvin Guillard fancies himself quite the Tony Montana. The fighter was suspended today for eight months by the Nevada State Athletic Commission for testing positive for cocaine after a fight with Joe Stevenson last month. He was also fined $2,100 out of his $7,000 purse for the fight.
Guillard was the first MMA fighter to test positive for cocaine in the state of Nevada. Only one MMA fighter, Ricco Rodriguez, has tested positive for cocaine in California.
Guillard said he shouldn't have been hanging out with Pacman Jones and Andy Dick.
At his disciplinary hearing in front of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, Guillard admitted that he used cocaine. Guillard said that on Friday, March 30th, he was hanging out with some friends and not intending to use any drugs, but "one thing led to another" and he ended up trying cocaine. Guillard said that he thought the drug would be out of his system within 72 hours and that he absolutely did not expect to test positive when he fought six days later.
Guillard said, "I've only been introduced to drugs in the past year or so." He added that he has only used drugs for recreational purposes, and that he does not have an addiction. Guillard did not specify which other drugs he has used, but he did state that he has never used performance-enhancing drugs.
There has never been a positive cocaine test for a fighter in Nevada. Boxer Omar Nino was suspended for testing positive for methamphetamine in 2006.
The best part of all this ... Guillard submitted due to a guillotine choke about 20 seconds into the match. So much for drugs making him stronger and faster.
