MMACanada.net caught up with Clay “The Carpenter” Guida to ask him his opinion on his next opponent, Anthony “Showtime” Pettis. Guida admits to being impressed with “the kick heard around the world” but Guida thinks Ben Henderson showed Pettis too much respect in his standup, which lead to his loss. Guida plans to show Pettis what the UFC is all about.
When asked about his gameplan against Takanori Gomi at last month’s UFC 125. Guida says the plan was to have a lot of movement to avoid Gomi’s hard strikes. He says the “funky chicken dance” moves we saw from him were not entirely planned, but that he felt the wind in Gomi’s strikes that would just miss him and knew he’d be in trouble if even one landed, so he decided to keep moving.
