Clay Guida broke an unfortunate UFC record in his first and final Octagon outing of 2024.
The 43-year-old made his debut with the promotion all the way back in 2006 and has gone on to rack up 37 appearances, the most recent of which came against Chase Hooper on Saturday night at UFC 310.
The last pay-per-view card of the year got off to a strong start with back-to-back first round finishes to kick off what should be a great night of action at the T-Mobile Arena.

In Guida’s first-round loss to Chase Hooper in the second fight of the night at UFC 310, there were several excellent grappling exchanges between them in the opening few minutes. But after the younger lightweight was able to take his opponent’s back, he switched to a gruesome armbar and quickly secured the tap.
Hooper previously submitted Guida with a calf slicer two years ago in a Fury Pro Grappling contest.
In his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan, “The Dream” gave credit to Mikey Musumeci, who recently made his UFC Fight Pass Invitational debut.
As pointed out by MMA Junkie’s Mike Bohn on X, this third consecutive loss in his career sees Guida record one more defeat than former featherweight powerhouse Jeremy Stephens and heavyweight staple Andrei Arlovski, leaving him top of the pile for most losses.
“The Carpenter” has already got his name listed in the UFC’s history books, but he probably won’t be too pleased about this particular statistic…
