Prediction: correct Mendes   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

I am hoping for a Mendes KO win here Guida is gonna jump around and he may just get caught with one of those heavy shots.

You can run but you can't....lay in this on Mr. Lay Guida.

Prediction: correct Mendes   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

Clay Guida used to be an exciting fighter that I loved watching fight. The last fight of his where I could say he was remotely close to exciting, was his submission victory over Takanori Gomi. Since then, I wince every time I see his name in a match-up, because all he does is dance around, run away, and if all else fails, a whole bunch of lay 'n' pray and wall 'n' stall tactics that will just bore the **** out of any MMA fan.

Chad Mendes is a fighter who has really put on a clinic of power and excitement. Since his loss to UFC FW Kingpin Jose Aldo, Mendes has won 3 straight by vicious highlight reel 1st round KO/TKOs. I hope for the same thing in his fight against Clay Guida. Guida won't be able to hold or contain Mendes in any way. Which I'm hoping will force Guida to fight like the Guida of old, and hopefully create one of the greatest fights of 2013. If all else fails, knowing Mendes, at least it has the possibility to be another great KO of the Night finish for Chad "Money" Mendes.

Big Guida fan. Tough fight. Mendes will likely win, but I don't see him putting Guida away.

Guida has really started to piss me off lately, I really want Mendes to ******* sleep him.

I have a feeling the wrestling is gonna cancel out here and this'll be a standup striking match. Guida's probably still gonna attempt to lay, but that's not gonna work on Mendes.

This is going to be a grindfest. Ugly win for either guy but I got Mendes on this one.

Prediction: correct Mendes   wrong Decision  

If Sanchez couldn't put Guida away in their match I don't see many that can KO Guida. He has such a great cardio and recovery. When that is said, Mendes probably have one of the best power shots in the division. 

Hopefully they will cancel each others wrestling, and we will see a great striking match. But I also think that Mendes will loose his composition when he finds out that he can't connect with his shots.

On the betting side, i would probably bet on "Going the distance" :)

Prediction: correct Mendes   correct KO/TKO   correct Round 3  

well Mendes really isn't known for losing his cool in any fights actually. Also he's been wrestling forever so he can withstand a grinding style like Clay Guida's.  Mendes has better wrestling, submission grappling IMO, Striking, Power, Takedown technique,  and Takedown Defense.

I am very curious to see how Guida approaches this fight, considering how similar the style match up is to when he fought Maynard.

i agree AnAlias with the one big exception being Mendes being much faster than gray and a more diverse striking game.

I've been staying with Mendes, but been picking him by dec and he's won by KO every time. However, I don't think he'll knock Guida out. Chin is too good. Although watch me be very wrong on this.

If Mendes finishes I think it's via the patented Alpha Male guillotine.

Guida's chin is on borrowed time. All fighters with his style eventually get brutally KOed. I won't pick him to get KOed until it happens, but I can easily see Guida getting KOed brutally against this current version of Mendes.

zarog if he finishes he could finish Guida with the guillotine like Kenny Florian did when he stunned him with a punch pounced on him and then subbed him.  that's what i think would happen.

Kenny choked him out with a RNC..

Mendes will just outclass himon the feet and maybe get a few takedowns. Cruise to a UD victory but ima pick a finish just for the lulz

I'm very confident that Mendes is going to win this fight, I don't know if he'll finish it though.

I hope he does.
