It's like once he takes someone down, he gets confused and moves around so much that he let's his opponent get up only to attempt another takedown again. This isn't jazzercising. I want to see Guida go for the kill. I like Guida, but his fights are starting to get very predictable... and eventually predictability leads to boredom. “Sherk is a monster,” Guida said. “Let’s see if he can stop my takedowns.”

Thu, 05 Feb 2009 16:40:15 +0000 http://fiveouncesofpain.com/?p=11661#comment-66258 The fight with Diaz really removed the shine off of Guida's game. With 2:30 left in the third round Guida humps Diaz's leg and I knew the round was essentially over. While having done nothing but his leg humping routine the entire fight Guida would come out the winner of this one. Guida lost me as a fan with his lack of or non existing stand up skills. I realize Xtreme Couture or Greg Jackson require serious money to join, but can't somebody pony up funds to send the Carpenter to either of these camps? Seriously, if he ever evolves into a standup fighter, he'll have me back as a fan of his. Jay K. The fight with Diaz really removed the shine off of Guida’s game.

This is about clay and sherk if I read the title correctly. Anyway I think a fight between clay and Edgar would be much better of a match up then either one of them vs sherk. I'm a huge Edgar fan and trained with him back in his rhino days but I don't think he or clay is ready for sherk but I will be rooting for that upset Seriously drop the Penn vs Pierre fight already like Austin said get the fuck over it.

His cardio is the best in the UFC, and his takedowns are awesome as well. But, he needs to work on his stand-up a little bit more. Either way, send the man some more fights and quick!

He had an unimpressive performance against the smaller Nate Diaz, what makes him think he could control a monster like Sherk let alone try to finish him. Sherk has looked amazing since coming back and I don't think anyone could argue it. His stand up in his fight against Penn looked really crisp and fast and although he lost I was still very impressed with him in that fight. His fight against Tyson was even better and pretty exciting imo. After Sherk beats down Edgar he should get the fight who he asked for, they should give him Diego.

Unless the UFC throws a wrench into the mix and screws Sherk and gives Diego a title shot with a win against Stevenson. I think Guida would probably be matched against Diego before Sherk.
