“It was just great to be back in the UFC….It was a crazy year. I fought against a tough opponent, and I thought I did well. I have no excuses.â€
“Gleison’s a friend of mine….I just saw him last week. We shook hands, and I wished him luck.â€
MMAWeekly is reporting, Melvin Guillard will take on Miletich trained fighter Spencer Fisher at UFC 90.
Pat Miletich:
“Spencer has no reason to fight that guy….I don’t think Melvin’s earned the right to fight him yet. I think Spencer should be fighting somebody where he’s got something to gain.â€
“Spencer obviously would be the favored guy….Melvin’s a dangerous kid, but I don’t think Melvin’s a polished fighter at Spencer’s level.â€
