LAS VEGAS - After dropping two straight fights and moving from a main-event slot to the prelims in consecutive bouts, Melvin Guillard desperately needed a win.
With an uncharacteristic calmness, the onetime lightweight contender fended off Fabricio Camoes' takedown attempts and picked up a unanimous-decision victory.
The preliminary-card bout was part of Saturday's UFC 148 event at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. It aired on FX prior to the night's pay-per-view main card.
