Quoteworthy:
"Well, on the first minute of fight I was going inside him and he punched me twice and it broke my jaw in two different places ... When I touched my teeth with my tongue I felt that everything was out of place and I had swallowed a lot of blood ... The truth is that, after he broke my jaw, I felt it like if it was a series tiny electric shock on my head, it was very weird, and it got sensible too. Any punch or pressure on that area would make the shocks become harder and harder and I got dizzy and lose my strength. When he pressured me on the grid I couldn't handle it. Joe Silva said I'll come back. I think everyone could see I was better in the fight. If I hadn't broken my jaw, I would have won that fight."
UFC lightweight submission specialist Rafael dos Anjos will have six months on the sidelines to think about his loss to Clay Guida t UFC 117: "Silva vs. Sonnen" earlier this month in Oakland. "The Carpenter" forced the wily Brazilian to call it quits after shattering his jaw in the first round. Dos Anjos contends it was his fight until the unfortunate injury. Anyone out there agree with his assessment?

Actually I had Guida winning the third round
And would have had it 29-28 Guida

I had the 1st 2 for Dos Anjos. I was very impressed by both guys. If Guida can keep improving his stand up I might not roll my eyes whenever he is mentioned on a card.

truth
more gifs like the one with him breaking Dos Anjos’ jaw and we are in business. Also, the head kick he took from Diego (along with the first minute of the fight) were impressive as well.

I agree, ANS.
I had Guida winning round 2 and dominating the third up to the stoppage. Guida was winning any way.

I am hazy on the second round...You might be right.
But wasn’t Guida on top for almost that entire round?

i think he was saying
that he could’ve outperformed clay in the rest of the fight if he didn’t have to deal with the pain of a broken jaw. (i’m not saying i endorse his remarks, just have a different interpretation)
"You'd best put seatbelts on your ears, Roy, cause I'm gonna take them for the ride of their lives."
What a garbage excuse
If they other guy didn’t perform that technique that was the difference maker in the fight then I would have won… DUH! If only that other team didn’t score those 2 touchdowns to our 1 touchdown our team would have at least tied! haha

Chael Sonnen Said...
If anderson didnt get me in that triangle I would have won the fight.
Yeah that is garbage to even say...
Like mspence said “if anderon didn’t get me in a triangle I would have won the fight” Chael…
If JDS hadn’t used Big Country as a punching bag he may have won…
If Thiago Alves could have avoided the takedowns he could have won that fight…

If I didn’t break my jaw? You mean if guida didn’t break you’re fucking jaw. Wtf that’s a lame ass excuse. Good thing it wasn’t bj or tito or there would be 500 post bashing them

He had good chances to win the battle. It was bad to lose but the UFC promised he’ll be back to the Octagon.

My mind saw
I was going inside ON him. I didn’t even notice the mistake.

If...
If Brandon Vera hadn’t broken his orbital against Jon Jones, he would have won.
rolls eyes
It’s not like it was a freak injury like Cote. Guida injured you. It’s part of the game.
I hate when people say shit like that
He lost… Guida broke his jaw twice with two punches… wheres the credit? He got smacked up. Anybody can say “if this didn’t happen, I would have won”. Too bad that did happen.. if it didn’t maybe something else would have? What a joke…
If his jaw was stronger maybe it wouldn’t have broke… if he was stronger maybe he would have knocked Guida out. If he had better wrestling maybe he would have gnp’d him. If he was a ninja maybe he would have ninja kicked him in the face. If he was Batman maybe he would have used a fuckin bat wing or some shit
Super annoying
enzo-enormous
yeah it's like saying
if i didnt get knocked out i would have won. it doesnt make a ton of sense and its kinda being a crybaby and making excuses.

This is the most bitch made statement ever
If guida hadn’t punched me in the face in an mma fight and broke my jaw I would have won. Worst excuse ever
I've got something similar
If i wasn’t old, overweight from eating pizza 4 times a week, didn’t sit on my couch every night, trained in MMA and cut weight to make 155, I would have knocked Clay Guida out.
LOL
If someone breaks my jaw, then he’s won.
If you injure yourself by means of an accident, then I guess you can say “I would’ve won”, but man.. Clay broke his fucking jaw. Clay won. Fair and square.
Yeah he could have given Guida a little credit
but I believe he wins that fight if his jaw wasn’t broken. And no surprise Guida may have been winning rds 2 and 3 when the other guy is probably in a lot of pain and not performing like his usual self. Yes, Guida won the fight fair and square but again….I think Dos Anjos wins that fight without the injury.
I’d like to see the video again to see if Dos Anjos had his mouth open prior to the punch. What a shocker to know Clay can break somebodys jaw. Guida has looked good his last 2 and always fun to watch. Loves the guys energy but stay upwind of the belches!!
He shouldn’t of said it.. But I think the point he was trying to make is he believes he is the better fighter.. I think I have to agree with him. Guida broke his jaw and still was holding his own… More power to Guida for landing the shots…But you just have to try and understand where he is coming from…
This Will Be One He Wished He Could Have Back
I had Guida winning that fight prior to the stoppage. Dos Anjos is probably already regretting this one because of how weak it comes across.
“I would have won that fight if the other dude didn’t kick my ass” is not exactly the image you want to portray especially when you are enjoying your lunch through a straw.
