Guida isn't going to be able to lay n pray Chad.

What is Guida's game plan going to be in this fight @Megaman (Wasn't your name MrCaveman or something?)

Yes it was actually, for some reason it changed when the new forum appeared.

He will realise he can't get Mendes down and try to run all fight but Mendes will just beat his **** down and probably take a UD.

PunchBag

his game plan will be the flying carpet aka guida vs gray

ShannonRitch1p4p

This is a hilarious matchup when you think about it.

Battle of 2 guys where 1 was very exciting but is now the most boring fighter in MMA vs a guy who used to be pretty boring himself but is now an exciting fighter.

As usual, ill root for the more exciting one.

WAR MENDES!

spartacus_

i'm hoping for mendes! he deserves another shot after that aldo's grab-to-the-fence technique

PunchBag

guida has never been exciting

It's kind of hard to say, in his last four fights he has gone out there with a different style everytime.

If he fights like he did in the Benson fight IMO he wins, he won some of the exchanges on the feet in that fight and even outgrappled Bendo a couple of times who is a huge LW.

There's no way he's going to get W against Mendes if he just tries to L'n'P so he'll have to switch it up, his power double though is vicious and he can drag anyone to the ground with it.

I hope he doesn't win if he "fights" like he did in that **** horrible performance against Gray.

I still think however that if he implements the same gameplan that he had against Pettis he's got the best chances, he neutralised Pettis' striking by just pushing forward closing the distance and using his amazing cardio to outwork him in the clinch and then on the ground.

Solid matchmaking skills on display here.

As for the fight- Once Guida realizes he cant take Mendes down itll be Guida/Maynard part 2 BUT Mendes is way faster than Gray. He will hunt Guida down and pummel him to a TKO or bad decision loss (hopefully).

TheUnicorn

I would be pumped for this fight but the first thing that popped up in my head was the Guida/Maynard fight soooo yea i wont expect to much here

TheOvereem

I imagine this will be the headlining prelim fight, hopefully Brown/Hardy stay on the main card as the opening fight there

I would be so confused if Brown/Hardy got put on prelims and Mendez/Guida got the main card spot

He will try to implement the Gray Maynard game plan. Just throw 3-4 jabs that hit nothing but air and run around the octagon like a headless chicken and try to sway the judges into thinking he won a decision.

Well in terms of rankings in their divisions Guida/Mendes is a more important fight, but Hardy/Brown will be so much more exciting

Keem

Im so going for Chad like I've never done before.

Junglebird

UFC should just send Florian at Guida again, that was a glorious beatdown.

Hopefully Mendez finishes the carpet too.

true but at the moment i am sure UFC is more interested in exciting not rankings

My thoughts as well, especially as it's on FOX

Mendes via actually fighting

if such thing was possible guida wouldn't have so many wins :-S

PoloRidah

I'll be rooting for Mendes. As @spartacus_ mentioned earlier, I'd like to see Mendes get another shot at Aldo without the cage grabbing.

Either way the winner of this fight will probably be thrown into the title mix at 145.

creep_bb

Mendes TKO

Cole1186

finally a Guida fight I can enjoy!! why? because he's going to get his but kicked, and get his face smashed in

ultimatefightingchamp

War Mendes, **** Guida

x2sasa

mendes will send guida to 135 via KO

Yesterdays_Hero

Guida is going to use running to try and win this one.

Za1994

I got Mendes winning. Once Guida realizes that he can't take Chad down, he'll try to run and I think mendes is better standing. This is the fight that we get to see Chad's TDD. We've never seen anybody shoot on him before. This will be interesting.

You know it to be true.
