Joking aside, given the amount of title and #1 contender fights Guida has been in, his team severely neglects him. When someone is serious about wanting a belt, they upgrade their perpetual contenders, and then they turn into Ben Hendersons, Thaigo Alvez's, or Diego Sanchez's. Guida could be there, but he needs, you know, LESS NEGLECT.
