We're one bad weight cut or failed weed result from Clay Guida being the main event this week

[fzoid4454]

Is that really the best they could assemble for the card after an open week?

you can smoke weed now dude

Love Clay, but he shouldn't be anywhere near the top of any card these days, and neither should his opponent imo.

 

[Southpaw_27]

I hope it happens.

Anybody else remember how bad 5 rounds of Guida vs Maynard was?

Something like that you never forget, kinda like when someone breaks their back, life changing.

too many shitty cards these days

If you don’t have thc in your system you actually get flagged as a nerd now.

Guida has JBG credentials... They are old, but may check-out.

Sorry, you're right. I was thinking about how the US female sprinter still got popped and banned, and didn't even consider that the UFC would be out ahead in terms of common-sense THC policy.

In retrospect, how much worse does this make the treatment of Nick Diaz look? Novitzky's explanation of why the UFC is changing their policy is pretty much verbatim of everything Diaz and everyone who agreed with them have said over the years.

Clay was always a point fighter, but he had earned a lot of fan respect for having heart and being scrappy. I don't think his rep ever recovered from that "fight".

It makes them look awful . American policy generally when dealing with drugs, especially something as miner as weed is horrific. USADA and the UFC were just emulating that kind of toxic war on drugs political culture.
Now that more and more states are legalizing weed and the culture is more excepting athletic commissions flip the script .

Guida has had some entertaining fights but nowadays he just takes someone down against the fence and puts his face against their crotch. Never watching him fight again

Quantity over quality

Meh.. I only found Guida fun when he was getting beaten on by superior opponents due to his durability… haven’t really enjoyed a whole lot winning performances from Clay tbh

That was a rough one. I was expecting a slugfest but Guida wanted to show off his Muhamad Ali footwork lol

They'll be a lot of people under that rock with me, just saying.
