Former UFC fighter Melvin Guillard has been refused a licence for his latest bare-knuckle fight after winning one of his previous 13 bouts.
Gillard previously competed in the UFC across a career that spanned from 2005 to 2014 before retiring after suffering his final loss with the promotion against Michael Johnson at a UFC London event eight years ago. Since that day, Guillard has competed with a number of different promotions including Bellator, Rizin and most recently in bare-knuckle fighting where he holds a record of 0-4.
Bare-Knuckle Fighting Championship announced his return to action in the squared circle next weekend where he was due to take on debutant Evgeny Kurdanov in Colorado, but in a statement made by the Colorado Combative Sports Commission, it has been revealed that the fight will no longer take place.
