Damn. A good fight, but that is a TOUGH decision for Guida to swallow. He took a lot of damage early, but he spent most of the remaining 3 rounds of the fight kicking the shit out of a very tired Maynard. With a full gas tank, Guida was absolutely about to run away with this one, vs. the Grey Man, who was running at about 15% stamina at that point. Made for a very interesting fight. And a Saved by the Bell fight for sure.
Clay Guida looks like he has been waiting for this fight forever.
This is the first time they meet inside the cage
A pretty fair match today. I can't say who will be the one who will be raising his fist after the match.

Damn. A good fight, but that is a TOUGH decision for Guida to swallow. He took a lot of damage early, but he spent most of the remaining 3 rounds of the fight kicking the shit out of a very tired Maynard. With a full gas tank, Guida was absolutely about to run away with this one, vs. the Grey Man, who was running at about 15% stamina at that point. Made for a very interesting fight. And a Saved by the Bell fight for sure.
