Clay Guida: "I Gotta Give Diego Sanchez Credit"
Clay Guida speaks after losing to Diego Sanchez in the main event of the TUF 9 Finale:
"I still feel I’m the best out here in the lightweights. It might take me another year to get that title shot…. I gotta give [Diego Sanchez] credit. He’s one of the first guys to take me down in the cage. He didn’t really do much with it, but he still scored some points. He brought a little bit of everything, kicks, punches, takedown, takedown defense….
I don't know, maybe I'm still having biased thoughts about Clay Guida's last couple of performances. In all honesty, he didn't do anything different against Diego Sanchez than he did against Nate Diaz. He managed to secure a take down and pretty much do nothing with it. He was never close to stopping Diego, nor did he have him hurt at any time in the fight. I know fighters are supposed to be confident in their abilities and what not, but I still can't figure out how Guida thought/thinks he is so close to a title shot. All his wins as of late have been against guys no where near the top of the UFC lightweight division.

I’m kind of beginning to fucking hate all the love Guida gets for being an “energizer bunny” and “relentless” — he’s annoying and boring to watch IMO, the definition of ‘blanket’.
Bloody hell.

"I still feel I’m the best out here in the lightweights…" Laughable.
I really find it hard to take Guida seriously when the guy spews out all this retarded verbal diarrhea. Is he really one to criticize someone by saying they got take downs but did nothing with them? Diego still out struck him from his back with elbows.
Being able to take a lot of punches, ones you can’t defend, doesn’t make you good.
...some call me "el mexicutioner"...

I can’t believe some guys actually think Guida got robbed !? I mean What the fuck? As always, Guida did nothing but try and smother his way to a decision. He never ever finishes fights or even comes close to. God I hate the Guida brothers.

The fact that he got the nerve to say this pisses me off.
Bloody hell.

Look at how much more damage Sanchez did. Its ridiculous for Guida to even consider being a contender.
