diaz brothers are in my hometown,so i have to like them,this is a very interesting fight,they both have great cardio.i think guida is going to go ahead and charge diaz and see what he gets,i think diaz will eventually take it to the ground.i think it will be a ground match mostly for 3 rds.hopefully diaz comes out the winner.

I think this matchup is a favorable one for Diaz, he is going to submit the always agressive, rarely cautious Guida. Guida has some power, but I think Diaz’ combo boxing is going to force Guida to take him down and from there Nate is going to lock onto a limb, raise his arms in style before he starts to make that limb uncomfortable.

I don’t know that his boxing is “great”. I think their method makes sense. A ton of shots on target as aposed to power.

too many posts to serf through, so heres me take…

Guida is extremely under-rated. Diaz is no joke for sure, but I think Diaz isn’t going to be able to handle the pace that Guida sets. ALL of Guida’s fights are non-stop action and he’s put a lot of fighters to the test. His split-decision loss to Tyson Griffin is a great example, and he was beating Roger Huerta all the way until he got caught with that great punch in the third. I think Clay overwhelms Nate in this fight. Nate needs to stop fighting exactly like his older brother. They have the same exact approach to striking, which is horrid. Nate I believe has better MMA jits than his brother because of his transitions, but if Clay wants to keep this standing he can, Nate won’t out wrestle him, and if Clay wants to take this fight to the ground he can, and he does have really good BJJ defense.

Clay – UD

Nate is always a little slow out of the gate.. marginally winning or loosing the first rounds of most of his fights IMO..

Guida could easily come out and get the best of Nate before he gets a chance to wake up and realize he’s getting his ass kicked

Good point bradon and mikew,i guess guida would be at a disadvantage because of his recklessness.I’m just wishfull thinking,and hopeing that that same energy will come in to play for guida getting out of trouble aswell.I picture it somewhat like when nick diaz fought diego sanchez.He just seemed to completely overwhelm him with his pace.It wouldn’t surprise me if any one of these scenerios played out.

I will never miss a Clay Guida fight, he could be p4p the most bang for your buck guy out there. Always an honest full out effort , in fact his over the top aggressiveness is what sometimes lands him in bad positions. Against Huerta i though he was winning until he shot in too aggressively and that led to him losing. Nate is a guy who can make you pay for mistakes especially on his back, and he will be on his back in this fight for sure. Diaz has a calm demeanour and is cool and calculated, we’ll see how he does against a Tasmanian Devil going 100 mph.

Nate should be able to win this fight if it stays standing as he has great boxing and super long reach. On the ground he’s way more dangerous. Clay’s only hope for this fight is a decision. He has zero chance of finishing Diaz. This is a bad fight for Guida. In my opinion Nate is a finisher and should be able to put him away.
