Round one: Guida and Sanchez come out swinging like animals!!!! Sanchez lands an uppercut and Guida could be hurt, and now their throwing at an amazing pace!!! Sanchez with a big knee and another uppercut. These guys are insane. Guida ducks under and gets the take down and survives the initial onslaught from Sanchez.

Guida is now on top and if he can ride it out for the round he has a shot to win. Guida now with some elbows and hammer fists. Sanchez going for a Kimura. Guida gushing blood. Guida escapes and is raining downs punches to finish the round. HOLY SHIT WHAT AN AMAZING FIGHT. Clay Guida somehow survived a 1st round where his face was almost obliterated. He was out on his feet about 4-5 times. Yet somehow he came back and won round two and could have very well won round 3 also. This should be an interesting decision, but I have to say this is one of the better fights ive seen in a very very very long time. The 1st two minutes of the 1st round alone was the best ive ever seen.

Final result: Diego Sanchez defeats Clay Guida via Split Decision
