Tests positive for banned substance, receives suspension
Guillard was suspended one year and fined $10,000 Friday for testing positive for a non-PED banned substance, Ariel Helwani of mmafighting reports.
ANALYSIS
The ordinance was delivered by the Kansas Athletic Commission and Guillard is now facing a one-year ban from the MMA. The 33-year-old lightweight fighter's knockout victory over David Rickels on July 22 was changed to a no-contest as a result of the recently delivered ruling. It remains to be seen if Guillard will appeal the suspension, which, if successful, could eliminate or reduce his suspension and reclaim his victory.

Guillard will face David "The Caveman" Rickels in a lightweight matchup in the co-main event of Bellator 159.
ANALYSIS
Guillard's winning days in the UFC currently seem like a distant memory, as he's lost three straight fights, including his first two with Bellator. A win over a respectable opponent such as Rickels could buy him a few more professional fights, but don't expect the 33-year-old to contend for a belt any time soon.

Guillard was defeated by Derek Campos via KO (Punches) at 0:32 of Round 2 at Bellator 149 on Friday in Houston, Texas.
ANALYSIS
This appears to be the end of the line for Guillard, as the enigmatic striker showed a more susceptible chin than in fights past. Guillard, whose weight-cutting issues have made him few friends in the sport, has now dropped three straight fights in the World Series of Fighting and Bellator promotions. Guillard is a hard 32 years old, as the UFC veteran has tallied a 32-16 record with two draws and two no-contests. Hanging up the gloves may be his best option at this point.

Guillard will enter his lightweight fight with Derek Campos as a -295 favorite at Bellator 149 on Friday in Houston, Texas.
ANALYSIS
Unbelievably (or, perhaps, believably at this point) Guillard missed weight for Friday's bout, tipping the scales at 158 pounds before dropping the mandatory two pounds. A veteran of 51 MMA bouts, "The Young Assassin" is a lethal striker with glaring susceptibility to submissions. Guillard, who has missed weight in three of his last four fights, will look to return to his winning ways at Campos' expense on Friday.
