hes great to watch. hes allways ready to brawl but i think he needs to win some fights before thinking of a title shot.. The lightweight division has alot of skilled dudes.

If October can come and Sherk can bring some much needed resolution to this Roid issue..the UFC knows where it will go with the LW’s..if sherk is to stripped BJ has his title match up with either Stevenson or KenFlo ( assuming he beats Din Thomas )..Guida should be matched up against Huerta of Edgar..to turn the corner to get a title shot..but wit BJ in this divsion..He’ll b the Champ until he chooses not to.

Clay, you need 2 know brother, you got a whole lot of supporters man. You got robbed a couple times, but prove the doubters wrong man!!!

GUIDA GUIDA GUIDA !!!!!!!!

He might turn some heads, but he could turn a lot more heads if they would show this damned fight on the ppv! Who the hell decided to put Huerta v somebody’s grandma on the card over Guida v Aurelio?

Aurelio IS a B J J world Champion..

“So easy a caveman can do it…” - Classic

This will be a tough fight. But, Guida should be able to get the takedown and control the fight.

Lets just pray for a couple early knockouts in the main cards, so they might air this fight. I dont mind all these posterboys that Dana has established to help in his quest of world domination. What I do mind is the UFC making us watch these poster boys fight no one, and put good, solid, competitive fights on the undercard and not broadcast them.

Not showing this fight is making me really sick of huerta. If u r gonna fight these UFC newcommers in all your fights, how bout u start finishing some of them. Its like Dana pushes aside the interest of Loyal, knowledgable fans (guida/aurelio fight) to show the mexican world and the casual fans Huerta, who I used to like until all this crap… Fight a big name, Finish them for once, just try it, u might like it, who knows u might beat some of them, but u cant beat the best if u dont fight the best.
Broadcast the Damn Aurelio fight.

Hopefully GSP knocks Kos out real quick, n stevenson submits yet another bullshit opponent(pellegrino) by submission(guiltin) in like 35 seconds. and then maybe we will get to c Aurelio.

This is a really messed up decision.

For u bloggers with a knowledge in business, Is it possible for the UFC to get a bigger time slot for its pay per views and maybe broadcast an extra fight or two. Or would that not work from a business point of view? Cuz they gotta start showing 2 more fights, because we cant count on the UFC 2 broadcast the 5 best fights, they usually show 1 0r 2 fights that end up to be worse then the undercard. The sad part for the UFC is the millions of us fans that know that we r not always recieving the best fights of the card.

Good nicknames for Guida…

I like Guida’s fighting abilities but I see him dropping this fight also.

This is what the UFC should be about. True brawlers like Guida who put it all on the line for the win. It’s taken a sad turn of late. All we see now is “punishment clothing line” this and “come to my afterparty” that. It’s great to see Guida bring back the old school aggression of the good ol’UFC days. Go Guida!

How funny has it become?

Unorthodox uncontrolled fighting styles (brawlers)went the wayside in the upsurge of great talent in mma today. The talent and fighters in the ufc today is the best it has been ever hands down. Ask yourself why your boy here hasn’t done to well 0-3. Your fighter could have probably been in title contention back when the ufc was first starting out, but will never hold a title in the new ufc, He will be strictly outclassed by a new breed of more disiplined trained fighters. If he just wants to stand and brawl he should put on boxing gloves because mma for guida= getting owned 0-4.

clay maybe the most exciting and yet underated fighter in the world, his groundwork is definitly world class; it may go the distance, i dont know if maximus has been very active lately but this guy is an ox guida and him may steal the show….BAD MOVE NOT HAVING IT ON THE PPV CARD…SHAME ON U BRAVO AND WHITE

tripleainto, first post I’ve noticed of yours. Very well written, and I thoroughly enjoy.

I agree with everything you said. I am a big fan of Clay Guida ever since Jesse did that interview with him before the Din Thomas fight. The UFC would be much better if they had more fighters like clay.

The reason your boy is 0-3 and will soon be 0-4 is because of the way he fights.

The ufc fighters (I.E. competition)is the best now that it ever has been.

I don’t think it’s the time slot that allows the UFC to only show 5 fights on a PPV. It’s that they feel the need to waste a bunch of time between fights with all the backstory of the fighters and their history with each other. Or in Tito’s case, what sort of insult he threw out to get his opponent to want to fight him. If they saved that crap for Unleashed and whatever other shows they put on Spike the would have more time to show more fights that people are paying for.

Since when did Guida become a talentless brawler?? Did anyone saying that even see his fight w/Griffin @ UFC72? (which he won by the way…judges be damned). That was a 15 minute war or attrition with very few mistakes. That fight alone made UFC72 worth watching.

This is dude is flat out amazing to watch… Total gamer for sure… If he wins over a big name (perhaps Melvin Guillard?) then he’ll get a title shot.

Who cares. Crane may turn out to be good, but right now he’s a guy who’s feasted on lesser MMA fighters with losing records in small shows. He’s got to work his way up through the ranks like everybody else until he gets some TV time. And we shouldn’t see Huerta again until he’s fighting some name-brand talent (not that I hold it against Huerta personally). Guida is an exciting fighter to watch and won a lot of fans taking on real contenders in the UFC LW division. Aurelio subbed Gomi and fought solid competition in PRIDE. UFC must have rocks in their heads for relegating Aurelio-Guida to a dark match. Those two guys deserve the bright lights more.

I certainly didn’t mean to make light of Crane’s achievements. No doubt that he’s an accomplished fighter. I just meant that he’s not established at this level like Aurelio, and I can’t see any justification for putting yet another Huerta fight on, while leaving Aurelio’s UFC debut on the undercard.

Lol, although I forgot about Melvin’s suspension… Too much Scarface

Go go Guida!.

I’m really choked that we likely won’t see the fight though. This really should be the first fight on the PPV card in my opinion.

Why was it so necessary UFC sqeeze Roger Huerta on this card? He just fought 2 month ago. We should have all gotten together sooner and sent Dana White and Eddie Bravo hate mail for putting this fight on the undercard. Guida saved UFC 72 from being the worst card ever. Even when i saw Guida get destroyed every round in his fight with Gilbert Melendez, he still put on one hell of a show.

I am also pissed off about not seeing the Babulu vs David Heath fight. These two guys are pretty much fighting for their careers. One year ago Babulu was headlining a UFC card, and 3 month ago David Heath was being Hyped up on a countdown to UFC as a tough up and coming fighter. Now they have been bumped down to the undercard. I think these two guys have nothing to lose in this fight and are going to go at it.

Kendall Grove and Joe Stevenson looked good in their last fights but I just do not care to watch them get fed victories. This is only exciting when an upset happens.

They could have atleast saved some of these fights for the UFC 77 maincard, considering the 74 undercard is better than the 77 maincard.

Crane is a talented martial artist, but he is unproven in the sport of MMA. He isn’t someone’s grandmother, but I think the point is made that the UFC is counting on inexperience and lack of activity to hurt Alberto. But yes, GO CRANE!!!

I nevere even thought about that, but u r right, everysingle person that would be watching the event has seen the promo atleast 10 times min…. if not many more times.

cut out the fighters intro’s and u could possibly fit in an extra fight or 2.

Good shit James!

Thanks dude. It’s great to hear from fan’s of true fighters.

This guy is truly an animal!

What does it even matter how good this fight is. Its not going to even be televised probably. Thats the prob with the UFC nowadays. Too many good fights and not enough fights shown for the $40 or so we pay. Who else wants the UFC to show ALL the undercard fights.

War Guida!

Clay should be the Lightweight champion. A great representative to the division! WARRRRRRR GUIDA!!!!!!

Guida was robbed at 72. I was there and we booed the judges. Off camera, Guida’s cornermen were motioning to us to raise the volume so the people watching on TV could here.

The next morning when the fighters were leaving for the airport we were sitting across from Clay was asking his trainers and crew what they thought about his performance. One of them just goes: “Well at least YOU didn’t get booed.”

Did you guys here the booing?

PW, you are right on the money as you are quite a bit. The problem lies with Dana White thinking he graduated from Harvard school of Business. The UFC has become too content with themselves. Even to the point where they are complacent. They absolutely believe that they wont he battle and hit the big time already. Dana honestly doesnt give one shit let alone TWO about the fans who pay. He is only concerned with getting his 1 million PPV buys so that the UFC generates $40 million with that alone.

He pads the PPV with 50 minutes of promotions during the USUAL TWO HOURS AND 30 MINUTES (EAST COAST 10PM - 12 30 AM) FOR THE MOST PART and have you ever watched the 30 minutes prior to the PPV ? They show the same 10 minute promo 3 times in a row ITS THE MOST ANNOYING display of tv ever. The UFC need some real business men running the UFC and Dana White needs to take a HANDS OFF approach to this thing. Fight fans are sick of the past 8 months of UFC PPV.

The last real fight card that was put on was back in December 2006 UFC 66 Liddell versus Ortiz. Back when the UFC was still HUNGRY and showed you all 8 - 9 fights live.

Competition is the best now agreed but I wasn’t taking so much about actual MMA skills when I spoke about the old days of UFC but rather the attitude that the guys had. That is what I admired back then compared to today’s UFC generation. I agree with you that the level of skill has increased tremendously and I never miss a fight just like everyone else on this site. It’s the attitude of the fighters that has sadly started to diminish since the old days. Guida’s attitude towards bringing it reminds me of those days. Plus, I agree with Just1Fix, Guida has a very solid ground game.

Now it seems like the big goal is to score an all-access show and to show your place a la MTV cribs. Bring back the war mentality!

I don’t remember any shows about Tank Abbot’s crib. Well, I guess they didn’t allow cameras into bars back then.

Actually Crane Wins, if you knew anything, you would know that “our boy” is 1-2 in the UFC. He lost a close decision to a Top 5 in Din Thomas and he lost a split decision against Tyson Griffin in a fight that it appeared Guida had won. Griffin even believed so himself.

You said that Clay Guida is nothing but a “Uncontrolled flurries, and Brawler type fighter” that looks for a “stand and brawl boxing match”. In my opinion, and alsmost every other person’s opinion, he is a VERY well rounded fighter. Did you not watch any of his fights and see his ground skills? He has great wrestling skills as well, which he uses to take his opponents to the ground.

You also said, “when they fight the more disiplined fighter of todays mma they get owned plain and simple.” PLEASE do tell me a fight where Clay Guida go OWNED in the UFC - I think you’ll have a hard time finding one. Since his 6th pro MMA fight, he has only been finished twice, both by submission.

Please don’t attack people that like certain fighters. And I don’t like Phil Baroni - he’s a self promoting jerk.

I agree completely… do u think that there is anything us fans can do to change it?

i dont’ know about a win getting him in the title picture, but it will be big for his career, i know all his loses are close fights against top fighters, but if he wants to be a champion he needs to be winning those fights convincingly, he might be able to make an argument that he should have won one or two of those fights, but it wasn’t obvious, i don’t think he got screwed or anything, just because you look good in defeat doesn’t mean you actually won, you need wins to get to a title and thats it…

even though i think aurelio will win, this is pretty much an even fight and would hate to bet any money on it, but if it goes to a decision and the fight is close the smart money would be on guida. i think the judges might try and make up for some of the close decisions he’s lost. this happens all the time in pro sports.
