It looks like eBay has become quite popular among UFC fighters lately. First we had Tim Sylvia auctioning of a Playstation 3, then this past week we saw Rich Franklin auction off his TUF Hummer and one of his custom “American Fighter” choppers. Well, today Melvin Guillard jumped into the eBay auction scene.
Melvin is auctioning off a “corner pass” to his upcoming fight with Joe Stevenson at the Ultimate Fight Night on April 5th. According to the auction, you will receive the following “perks” for winning:
- CORNER PASS! YES, THAT MEANS YOU WILL BE IN THE CORNER OF THE FIGHTER DURING HIS BOUT! IN ADDITION, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO GO IN THE OCTAGON AT THE END OF THE FIGHT TO CONGRATULATE MELVIN ON HIS VICTORY
- EXCLUSIVE VIP AFTER-PARTY PASS TO THE PLAYBOY CLUB’S NIGHTCLUB – MOON: THE OFFICIAL MELVIN GUILLARD AFTER-PARTY
- YOU WILL WEAR THE OFFICIAL CORNER T-SHIRT, AUTOGRAPHED BY MELVIN GUILLARD
- YOU WILL WEAR THE OFFICIAL CORNER HAT, AUTOGRAPHED BY MELVIN GUILLARD
- YOU WILL RECEIVE AN AUTOGRAPHED EVENT POSTER ALONG WITH AN AUTOGRAPHED 8X10 BY MELVIN GUILLARD
- YOU WILL BE WITH MELVIN FOR HIS PRE-FIGHT WEIGH-IN AND POST-FIGHT INTERVIEW
The reserve price on the auction is $1,500 and as of right now there have been 19 bids with the current highest bid being $560. Surprising as it may seem, this isn’t the first time a UFC fighter has tried this. Drew Fickett once posted the same type of auction, but the UFC made Fickett remove the auction due to “security concerns.” Dan Henderson also once had the same type of auction for a PrideFC event. So, as of right now, if you are going to be in Las Vegas next week and want to “corner” Melvin Guillard, then have fun bidding. Don’t be surprised when the auction “mysteriously” dissappears in the next day or two however.

It just felt very good to bid $620……………… and not have to pay it!
Just bid $711.11, and was immediately outbid!!
SOMEBODY BID!
@AMIR
B I D !
@Dennis,
I just placed a max bid of $1400
I’m the current high bidder with $787.77, haha
Guess who bid 777.77?
all sevens seemed appropriate for Vegas!
1111.11….
nice.
someone on the UG said they should win the bid and then throw in the towel halfway thru the first round to make Melvin lose! hahaha. I’m sure he’d love that.
I would bid again, but my corner threw in the towel…
the winner could go “Jerry Springer”, and run in the ring and start helping Melvin.
That would be a chance of a lifetime though, that is if you could corner for someone like Chuck, then hit the post fight party! Whoa.
WHAT THEY WILL REMOVE IT U THINK???
might be too late to pull. Somebody just met the $1500 reserve.
Doc….. you devil, you’re going for the corner, aren’t you?
Get’em while they’re hot!

Man i wish that i had some money to try and auction off and try to get that pass!!!!!!!!! i would wear a go MMAHQ T-shirt, for all of you guys apart of mmahq just to show some gratitude to yall all here and for the hell of it!!!!!!! lol
…and don’t forget hats….
try to get one on Melvin’s head.
he wouldn’t see you from behind.
what a plug aye?
alright i read on ufc website that joe for some reason wants to stand in a fight and is saying he will stand with melvin im saying he does its lights out stevenson.
Hey Doc,
You were right again. They removed the auction before it ended.
They removed it?? That sucks! Me and my wife are currently in the market for a new home, so she’d have my balls on a platter if I pulled out that kinda cash. That would be one hellof-a thing.
I’m with you guys…Give me Ortiz or Liddell’s corner and I’d crap on the canvass. And yes, I’d wear a MMAHQ t-shirt too. Only if Dr. J would pay me a little for the PR…LOL
I haven’t been here in about 2 weeks. Lots of crap happened. I was following the UFC-Pride thing and it should be real good for the sport. Like Dr. J said, we have the NBA, MLB, NFL, ect., so it can’t be bad.
BRING ON THE MONOPOLY…I WANNA SEE PEEPS LIKE SILVA AND ALL THE OTHER TOP FIGHTERS.
Fighters would be fools not to sign with the UFC now…
BRIAN

Only if he makes me…

i know this is late but just cuz im fat doesnt mean i got a big head i just have a huge gut
I understand showing these fighters love and respect, but we’re only creating a monster within these guys when we “nuthug” them to this extent.
Don’t be surprised when these guys’ egos balloon up, and they don’t give you the time of day!
Who’s nuthuggin?
Personally, I’m not a fan of Melvins.
