I got Deigo by clear cut, convincing, no disputing UD.

I know I thought the same when I saw this video. I think Diego will take it in the 3rd. Clinch, then take him to the ground and GnP to ref stoppage.

Diego ftw via UD. I hope/predict he’ll look much improved on his feet.

Watch the video again – the first scene (all kickboxing) was indeed done in May. The last scene is from last week. You can see that Diego has already hit his weight. He’s actually very comfortable right now, he stopped by on Monday and tried on his size 30 shorts for the fight – hell, there was actually some play left in the shorts!

i hope diego loses and can someone tell me why people hate on guida so much he fights every fight with tons of energy he’s offensive and has tons of heart, i really enjoy his fights i don’t understand all the hate.

well i tell yu why i hate him because of his last fight he didnt do much and didnt deserve to when he threw like 13 punches and that was all in the first round i just think his last performance annouyed alot of people cause all he did was huge nate p.p i dont hate him i just dont like him as much as i did

Why do we hate him??? is that a serious question? Perhaps it’s because of his epileptic style of lay and pray. He’s got u fooled if you think he’s an exciting fighter. That and you fall for the joe rogan “he’s a wild man!” line. I promise you, if he got a hair cut, you wouldn’t think he was nearly as exciting. He tries to smother ppl and his hair is flying around all over the place while he throws a ton of pitty pat punches. He doesn’t posture up and try to land real ground and pound, he never does any damage and is rarely in a position to finish a fighty. He hasn’t finished any real competition. The last two fighters he stopped for the victory were sammy schiavo and justin james. Before those you have to go back to november of ‘05 for a fight he won “decisively”, and that was a TKO due to injury. No joke but he actually has a win to his credit over “Clay Guidiolla”. By ankle lock. This has to be some sort of joke or something. He’s not exciting, his wild man, push the pace thing is fabricated and his hair flopping around has won him a few decisions. Diego is a real push the pace, energy type of fighter. He actually looks to damage his opponents and finish the fights. Get ready for your boy Guida to get dominated.

great post CROWLS! Way to keep it real brother!

I hate that dry humping moron because he fights to squeak out a win and talks this insane shit that he deserves a title shot when he hasn’t even beaten the divisions top guys. Diego is going to make him look like his goofy brother Jason when they fight.

Matty it’s funny how you hope Diego loses, but in the next sentence you are praising Guida and talk about how much you enjoy his fights. Diegos fights are much more entertaining to watch than Guidas’. If you are impressed with Guidas fights then you should be even more impressed with Diego, or are you one of those that dislike him because you think he is weird, no matter how entertaining or good he is at MMA. Your not related to Guida are you?

by Ade on Jun 18, 2009 9:35 AM EDT up reply actions

Will you guys apologize on this website if Guida doesnt get it handed to him on saturday??? If he looks impressive on Saturday i want you guys on here apologizing. If you are allowed to sit here all day and give your opinions (which you are) and rip someone apart, then I believe if you end up being made to look wrong then you should recant your COMPLETELY over the top statements of hatred towards him. By the way, if you think Guidas fighting style is boring and repetitive, then you guys should try listening to yourselves make the same statements and opinions everyday. Dont rip a guy for having an opinion. After all, you have one too, and you damn sure let us know it.

Dave: what the FOck does how he performs Saturday have to do with the pathetic fights that he made us sit through recently?

U might like Guida, I cant even imaging why…I GUESS u must enjoy gay porn…lol because that is what a huggie bear fight is: SOFT GAY PORN!!!!! Sorry, but I am keeping it real. Only entertaining Clay fights were when he fought 2 of the most exciting fighters in the division, Huerta and TYson…

He is just another one of those idiots that are self proclaimed ultra exciting fighters….but very little fans actually look forward to seeing him fight!

I am so damn sick of him, and look forward to eventually reading the headline:

Clay GUIDA cut from UFC after Loss!!!!!!!!!!

by JOhn G on Jun 18, 2009 11:09 AM EDT up reply actions

Your argument is flawed in the sense that a lot of people thought he won the Griffin fight, and he was working Huerta over till the big knee. Guys who know a hell of a lot more about mma would tell you that he is not a boring fighter and that he is entertaining. i understand that its your opinion but i feel like like your opinion is a little too passionate. You can dislike a fighters fighting style without hating on him so damn much. Oh and he wont be getting cut from the UFC any time soon so get used to it.

By the why John G, life is way to short to be as angry as you always seem to be, lol, so tone it down a notch

ur dumb for thinking diegovis gunna lose this fight!

by Zack Skokan on Jun 18, 2009 12:34 AM EDT reply actions

ur crazy if you think diego is gunna lose this fight!

by Zack Skokan on Jun 18, 2009 12:38 AM EDT reply actions

was that jeremy stephens at the end there? Anyways, diego is way more well rounded than guida. Guida cant finish people off either. He grinds on you and until you quit. I’ve got diego in the 3rd ref stoppage

by kukuxumusu on Jun 18, 2009 1:19 AM EDT reply actions

good lord…diego’s kicks look about as natural as matt hughes boxing.

by Phil Baloni on Jun 18, 2009 1:33 AM EDT reply actions

those side kicks look very awkward. but his roundhouses and punches look solid and powerful. guida will be going to sleep

by PP on Jun 18, 2009 2:35 AM EDT reply actions

fortunately, side kicks are rarely used in MMA. I think this was training from awhile back. Just him training MT, not specifically for this fight. Adding any new techniques and learning new stuff, you are going to look awkward for awhile. Don’t let a sloppy side kick fool you into thinking Guida can win here
