Guillard (27-8-2) knocked out Evan Dunham (11-2) in the first round of their headlining fight at the UFC: Fight For The Troops 2 event Saturday night.
“I want my title shot,” Guillard told the UFC website after the fight. “Keep lining them up and I’ll keep knocking them down. I will go undefeated in 2011.”
Dunham entered as a heavy favorite in the lightweight bout and quickly landed the first strike with an early kick. It was all Guillard after that.
Guillard threw a flurry of punches and eventually landed a left knee to Dunham’s face. The knock took Dunham to the ground and Guillard continued attacking, forcing the referee to stop the fight at 2:58 in the first round.
It was Guillard’s fourth straight victory and Dunham’s second consecutive defeat. Guillard earned the Knockout of the Night award.
There were no other major surprises on the main card. In the co-main event between heavyweights, Matt Mitrione improved to 4-0 by knocking out Tim Hague in the first round.
Featherweight Mark Hominick earned a title shot by knocking out George Roop in the first round. Hominick will face Jose Aldo at UFC 129 in Toronto for the featherweight belt.
Heavyweight Pat Barry and lightweight Matt Wiman each scored unanimous decisions. Barry beat Joey Beltran, while Wiman stifled Cole Miller.
