Clay Guida

Lightweight veteran Clay Guida is hoping to rematch long-time rival Nate Diaz. The pair first fought back in January 2009 at UFC 94. Guida emerged victorious in an all-time classic fight, he picked up a split decision win via the judges’ scorecards after a back-and-forth fight. Guida was the first man to beat Diaz inside the octagon and he’s confident of doing it again.

Speaking during the UFC on ESPN 11 virtual media day Guida revealed he’d love to run it back with Nate Diaz and told the Stockton, California native to stop being scared and answer the call, he said.

“Some fights I’d love to have in the future, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again and I’ll never back down from this one. Nate Diaz has got it coming to him someday. I beat his ass once, I’ll beat his ass again. If he ever toes the line and they stop protecting him, you know my number, Nate. So, don’t be scared, homie. You know where we are at buddy.” (Transcribed by BJPENN.com)

‘The Carpenter’ faces off against Bobby Green at UFC Vegas 3 this Saturday night (June 20). Guida is a significant underdog heading into the fight. Last time out he was quickly submitted by fellow veteran Jim Miller. Prior to that, he beat faded legend BJ Penn over three rounds.

Diaz hasn’t fought since losing against Jorge Masvidal at UFC 244. The inaugural BMF title was on the line and it was ‘Gamebred’ who emerged victorious after the ringside doctor waved off the fight between rounds three and four.

Despite their rivalry, it seems unlikely Diaz will be willing to take a fight with Guida. With all due respect, he currently has much bigger fish to fry. Potential rematches with Conor McGregor and Masvidal are still very much in play and will likely generate much more money than a fight with Guida ever could.

UFC featherweight contender Renato Moicano has decided to test the waters at lightweight.

Moicano is coming off a first-round TKO defeat to Chan Sung Jung at UFC Greenville earlier in the summer. That setback marked the Brazilian’s second defeat in a row as well as his third in his last five outings.

Although he is used to cutting weight to reach the featherweight limit, Moicano was advised to make the move up following his loss to Jung. And he has decided to go along with it:

“Some coaches have been asking me to do this test at lightweight,” Moicano told MMA Fighting. “I was apprehensive at first, but Mike Brown has asked me many times since I moved to ATT. We’re used to cutting a lot of weight in Brazil, and that was never a problem for me, but I’ve suffered a lot in my last three fights.

“After my last loss, Mike Brown texted me saying ‘I think it’s time for you to move up. You have to at least make a test. If you don’t like it, fine, you can go back (to 145),’ and that’s what I’m going to do.”

Moicano’s ideal plans?

Facing veteran Clay Guida when the UFC returns to Brasilia on March 14. But even if it’s not Guida, Moicano wants the big-name opponents:

“I’m a huge fan of his [Guida] and since he has fought many times in Brazil before, I don’t think that would be a problem for him,” Moicano added. “He’s a veteran and a popular fighter, so that would be good to maybe make it the main or co-main event in Brasilia.

“He always puts on great fights. I’ve always looked out for big-name opponents since my debut and I plan on doing the same at 155: aim for big fights, good opponents.”

Do you think Moicano will find success at lightweight?
