From Heavy.com:
I've been working very hard. My strength and conditioning coach and I have been working very hard during my sparring sessions, and all of my coaches have really been pushing me hard to prepare for that. They know that Clay is the kind of guy that doesn't really come with the best technique, but he's a guy that's always going to be there until the end. He can really push you and tire you out. He's beaten a lot of fighters that were technically superior to him because of that pace. I'm planning on bringing technique and pace into the cage on December 12. I'm going to be in the best shape that I can and be at the best technical level that I can. I'll do whatever it takes to get that win.
This should be a pretty entertaining fight provided Guida leaves his hug'em style in the locker room. I expect Florian to be able to handle Guida, but I'm not sure he can finish him. What say you?

IF Florian finishes
it’ll be by RNC. I still think it remains to be seen if he can handle a smothering top-controlling wrestler though, since Stevenson didn’t try much of it in their fight
Yea
Good point…although I gotta think he’s made that adjustment since he’s training with GSP’s camp.

The only think Kenny is going to be handed is another loss, he has nothing to offer Guida that he hasn’t seen from better fighters. The only way Clay losses this is if the judges screw him over again and considering his history in the UFC that’s a good possibility. Aside from that Clay should take Kenny down and pound him down for 3 rounds to get the win.
lol
since when had Guida took anyone down and GnP’ed them though?

I agree I dont’ see Kenny pulling this out, Guida has great submission defense, and is tough to knockout. I see Guida taking him down over, doing a little bit of gnp and pulling off a decision. Florian is kind of weak against wrestlers.

Are you sure you’re taking about Guida and not Maynard? :|
Heres what Guida will do -
-He’ll come out bounding like a rabid energizer bunny on crack.
-Pace around his corner and fool everyone into believing that he is entertaining.
-Follow his usual “gameplan” of latching onto WHATEVER comes at him…. Kenny Florian, log of wood, Yogi Bear…whatever!
-Do no damage whatsoever.
-Get called “relentless” over and over by Goldberg and Rogan.
…Fuck this guy. I hope Kenny tears him a new one. I can’t believe he has his own action figure.
