Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) finally returns to Atlantic City, NJ, with UFC on FX 4 featuring Gray Maynard vs. Clay Guida in the network-televised headliner booked for the new Revel Hotel and Casino on June 22, 2012.

And it's time to see what else Maynard can do in the promotion's stacked 155-pound division, now that he doesn't have Frankie Edgar to "Answer" to.

The road back to the vaunted "mix" begins with Guida in what many are billing as a clash of offensive wrestlers. But don't be surprised to see "The Bully" try to saw through "The Carpenter" with a barrage of power punches.

Guida talks to MMA Fighting:

"I think mine (wrestling attack) is a little bit more in your face, a little bit more wild attack and his is conservative -- but very high level. He gets a blast double legs. He has a very good single leg and he doesn't miss takedowns very much. When he shoots, he puts you on your butt. I think he's gonna come out and try and knock my head off and he's gonna try to put us on our back."

Hear more from Guida on his upcoming "Garden State" main event, after the jump.
