Bellator's Melvin Guillard's debut was far from ideal. The former UFC fighter was dominated in his fight against Brandon Girtz, last Friday (28), and lost by the judges' decision. But, in addition, the 'Young Assassin' fractured his hand during the duel.

The image of the injury, released by coach Din Thomas, is impressive. Guillard's hand becomes so swollen that it looks like a tennis ball (see image below).

“Dear Melvin Guillard hand. You sure picked a terrible time to break,” Thomas joked. With the injury, Guillard is expected to undergo surgery in the coming days.
