Since the finality of UFC 136, UFC lightweight Joe Lauzon has heard some things from his opponent that night that does not sit well. Who was that opponent? It was none other than highly favored Melvin Guillard. Guillard was shooting up the rankings after a recent camp move to Greg Jackson's camp. Coming in riding a five fight win streak and fighting in front of a pro Guillard crowd, fans and critics alike thought it was a sure thing. Well it wasn't Melvin was rocked within seconds and choked out via rear naked choke at the .47 second mark.

Melvin has not been very willing in giving "JLau" credit and Lauzon is sick of it. 

“Whenever I see Melvin he is always super nice you know, before the fight and after the fight he is always ‘Hey how you doing?’ Always really friendly, but then in interviews I see [him say] ‘Well Joe didn’t beat me, I beat myself.’

It’s like no, I slapped you in the face with my fist and then you went down and I choked you. I’m pretty sure I am taking credit for that.

I kind of feel we set the gameplan for beating Melvin. You come forward you don’t act scared of him and let him get off and he kind of falls apart a little bit. That’s exactly how Miller went. Our fights where almost identical… It’s like how do you lose two fights in the exact same way? What kind of progress or improvement did Melvin show since when I fought him?”

Lauzon is scheduled to face Anthony Pettis at UFC 144 this Saturday in Japan. He aims to prove that the Guillard fight was not a fluke.
