Cerrone, Guillard meet in Denver

A lightweight contest between Donald Cerrone and Melvin Guillard has been announced for UFC 150 in Denver, Colorado.

UFC officials confirmed the news today.

The bout will serve as the co-main event of the August 11 card, which will be headlined by a lightweight title rematch between champion Ben Henderson and Frankie Edgar at the Pepsi Center.

Guillard last competed at UFC 148 earlier this month, earning a unanimous decision over Fabricio Camoes to snap a two-fight winning streak. He lost to Joe Lauzon and Jim Miller before finally getting back on track toward a title shot.

Meanwhile, Cerrone has been terrific during his short UFC career. Apart from a loss to contender Nate Diaz at UFC 141, Cerrone has not been beat in the promotion, winning five of six contests.
