How good or bad do yall consider Guida?

Where those he rank amongst "best chins" ever at his division?

Is he the most succesful "street-style fighter" ever? Absolutely reckless... I remember watching him as a kid and being like WTF is wrong with this guy, and why doesnt he cut his hair.... Can he even see?

loved his fights
 
Cardio for days, good takedowns, a master of doing very little on top.

I'd say in between the Florian and Benson losses was his best string of wins, certainly the longest in the UFC.
Probably C- fighter at best.

oh but cardio for days. IDK if I mentioned that
 
He was good at what he did and if you couldn't stop him doing it he had the cardio to keep doing it.
 
He beat Nate which means he would beat Conor.

MMA math pulling for Guida.
 
I’m not sure how good of a carpenter he was but he can fight pretty damn well.
 
I always have a soft spot for Guida because his fight with Huerta moved me squarely out of boxing and into MMA

Guida is exactly the kind of guy who could beat Conor. Wins over Nate, Pettis, Josh Thomson, RDA.

Clay is the Eli Manning of MMA. He's overrated and underrated simultaneously.

That's like being born to a sewer rat in a shit-stained pile of damp cardboard.

But we'll take you.
 
He has some impressive wins over very good fighters.

He has twice as many wins as losses. Always comes to fight. I’ve never heard of him talking shit. I’m a fan, and he’s my favorite fighter that has not won a UFC belt.
 
Back to back wins over RDA, Gomi and Pettis is something any that would look good on any LWs record.
 
Raped Pettis on ground.

Made RDA tap to strikes after breaking his jaw.

Went war on multiple occasions.

He gets in UFC HOF in like 20 years.

Almost always comes to fight. His fight with Gray Maynard was one of the worst fights ever.
