1fan4fun Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I respect Clay Guida as a strong LW wrestler. However, as an exciting MMA practioner, I give him low marks. I certainly hope the UFC puts Guida's fights on the "may not be broadcast" undercard, do to the likelyness of him winning a 3 round decision without throwing any effective strikes or submission attempts. Winning an MMA match by wrestling control alone is bottom barrell MMA, IMO. For the love of "Mixed" martial arts I would respect Clay more if he would throw some arm bars, strikes, or even just attempt to pass guard once in a while. IMO he is one of the most boring fighters to watch. And, is it just me or does he use his long hair to drape into the eyes of his opponents when he is controlling them with his body locks? lol. Get a haircut, it's annoying to see your opponents eating your hair, when you smother them with defensive body locks for three consecutive boring rounds.

Test_For_Echo Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I totally agree with 1fan4fun, couldn't have said it better. What's Clay's new motto these days "that may have been ugly but it's a W". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKLiPSE Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I also agree with 1fan4fun they should make him get a haircut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hizoka Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I hated how he got the nod of nate when nate actualy tried to win the fight and Guida just huged him for 15 minutes... never did he make an attempt to end the fight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvsporn Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 exciting fighter, but relies heavily on his wrestling (which is fine), but he needs to vary it up with jujitsu and some ground and pound.......all he does is try to controll form the bottom if the fight were on th ground..... standup needs to be spiffed up some more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JujitsWho Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I like Clay. His fights are always exciting. Thoughts? This is true.....sometimes. There are some times I'll love his fights, and others I feel like turning the channel. I guess it all depends on what Clay shows up. Who he's fighting has a lot to do with it too.

freaksho Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I think most fighters have had super-exciting fights and not-so-exciting ones. It really does depend on the compitition. And don't forget how crafty Nate is on the ground.... Guida couldn't risk making even a small mistake. wasn't the prettiest fight, but Clay controlled him ... Nate could not escape and impose his will. If Clay wasn't such a good wrestler, Nate would tool him methinks. I agree with Hizoka -- Clay was trying not to loose in that one. and maybe you can't blame him after a couple close losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't blame the guy for having the "W" be his main objective...i still think he's exciting but has a long way to go with different aspects of mma..i'll be patient with him..just my opinion.

Hurricane1406050593 Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Guida is an exciting fighter to watch , he is never afraid to push the action. He has great heart and cardio.

freaksho Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 yes, it's prolly in many fighters minds that if they loose another one, they could be out of the UFC. the compitition's too thick ... especially at lightwieght. I think we've seen enough of Clay Guida to know that any fight he's in has the potential of being "fight of the night". And we know that he's IN every fight - no one has run through him ... lately at least. I guess I'm a fan ... I'll watch any fight he's in for sure.

freaksho Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 he's had 34 fights ... 11 have gone to decision -- he won 8 of those he only has 4 knockouts, but he does have 12 sub victories. I wouldn't call him a wet-blanket just yet. although, fights going to decision seem to be the trend with him lately. hopefully he'll bust out of the rutt.

GnP4life Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Eh, guy's not the most entertaining fighter but whatever, in the end this is MMA not WWF. You're gonna have boring **** fighters, that's how it is. The beauty of this sport is that you don't have 1 certain way of fighting. Some will appeal to others and some won't that's just how it is. People use to hate on Sherk for his style too but i always found it very fun to watch, extremely technical, always improving his position before letting loose some shots. Do what ya gotta do to win, if you win you move up. His style might not appeal to everyone who likes to watch someone like Wanderlei go at it, but oh well...if it works it works, again it's a sport, this is Mixed Martial Arts, not pro wrestling.
