Clay Guida, the experienced UFC fighter, has been making headlines lately for his fake retirement prank after losing to Rafa Garcia at UFC Kansas City (Sportskeeda). The prank has not set well with UFC president Dana White, who expressed his disappointment (MMA Junkie).
Despite the controversy, Guida has had an impressive fighting career spanning over 60 professional mixed martial arts fights (The Body Lock). He has competed at both lightweight and featherweight and is known for his willingness to grind out results (Planet Sport).
Off the ring, Guida finds peace in fishing, which he calls his “getaway” (UFC.com). He previously expressed his desire to fish in Alaska, and while he hasn’t made it there yet, he hopes to do so someday (UFC.com).
Guida recently competed in UFC on ESPN 44 against Rafa Garcia where he lost by unanimous decision (MMA Junkie). However, his performance during the fight was still noteworthy as he showcased “new tricks” (Planet Sport). Guida remains a tough competitor, and his upcoming fights will undoubtedly be worth watching.
The MMA world has been reacting to Guida’s fake retirement prank, with fans expressing mixed reactions (Essentially Sports). While some found it an entertaining stunt, others were disappointed, calling it a cheap tactic (Naija News). Whether or not Guida’s prank was popular among fans, it has certainly kept his name in the headlines.
