Testing positive for cocaine and getting to keep your job is the goddamn dumbest thing I've ever heard of. Maybe all employers should follow this criteria for hiring and keeping people on board!

Because Clementi pwned him in that fight. Plain and simple. Does Guillard not watch replays of his fights?

Guillard is going to be choked again, but still feel that he won the fight. “The loss I got from him (Clementi) I can’t base that and say that Rich is a better fighter than me because technically we got in a street fight and technically I beat the s**t out of him.”

He is a good athlete, he is not a good fighter. His wins tend to be where he overpowers an opponent (the mark of an athlete), his losses tend to be where he makes simple mistakes (the mark of someone who is not skilled or doesn't show it). He is waste of airtime IMO. Discussions of Guillard always confuse athletic potential with fighting potential. He is a good athlete, he is not a good fighter.

He is a blue belt under Ricco (I don't know how great of a teacher Ricco is so I can't really say much about this belt). He just doesn't care.

But if your mentality towards to jiu jitsu is that people who use it are "huggiing you" and that they are "mat rats" then your not going to get anywhere. But yeah telling Guillard to focus is like telling Pedro Rizzo to be more aggressive and Andy Wang that he needs to utilize his jiu jitsu as opposed to his limp dick stand up.
