Prediction: wrong Pettis   wrong Decision  

Guida will take a beating in the first round but will grind out a decision in rounds 2 and 3 with his superior wrestling and cardio

Prediction: correct Guida   correct Decision  

If Pettis can keep up with Guidas pace, and keep it standing he could drop Guida late in the fight.

Prediction: correct Guida   correct Decision  

Nothing motivates Guida like Guida. He is in the best place in his career right now and I am going with Clay bringing a blistering, unrelenting pace that is going to put Pettis on his heels early and test his confidence. I think he can do it, but it's gonna be tough for sure.

Prediction: wrong Pettis   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

pettis' takedown defense is highly underrated...and i think the only time it goes to the ground is when pettis hurts guida and pounces on him....HOWEVER, pettis has a HUGE amount of pressure on his back, thanks to his WEC swan song and his number 1 contender status...if theres a letdown to be had, its here.

If Guida fights as well as he burps, he'll win.

Prediction: correct Guida   correct Decision  

Agree..Pettis has more tools the win the fight against Guida.  The true test will be if he can endure the fast pace and the possible choke from Guida's hair if he happens to smother him with it.  All kidding aside Pettis has the best chance to win this fight but my gut says Guida by decsion. I think he will give him more pressure than he is used to and will manage to control him on the ground.  Hope I am wrong for potential match ups down the road...but hope I ma right because I picked Guida by decision

Prediction: wrong Pettis   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

Pettis should have decent TDD defense come fight time if he is training with Ben Askren.  I look for this to be a 3 round striking war with Pettis winning a UD.

should be a great fight, guida wants a stand up brawl or get on top..i think Pettis uses good TDD and kickboxing to win the decision

I think Anthony's striking and bjj will be to much for Clay. But this is an amazing matchup with two fighters I really enjoy.

Prediction: wrong Pettis   wrong Decision  

I hope Pettis knocks his head off. Guida is an absolute punching bag imo. I do enjoy his fights...he's had some wars but I can't stand him. I am nervous that it is Pettis first fight in the UFC. I hope he comes out gunz a blazin b/c you know Clay will.                          Any good women's fights coming up Elkisland?

I see Pettis being the one to crack Guida's chin, the sooner the better so I dont have to watch Guida's ridiculous dancing

Prediction: wrong Pettis   wrong Submission   wrong Round 3  

This fight will be a war. I see Guida setting a blistering pace early, and showtime having to adjust thereafter. Pettis is really slick on the ground, I think he'll catch guida late.

Prediction: wrong Pettis   wrong Decision  

Against Ben Henderson, Anthony Pettis showed some great striking and good takedown defense. Guida is tough as nails, and one of the scrapiest competitors in MMA. This is a tough fight to call, but I have Pettis winning the fight by decision. This has the potential to be one of the best fights of the year.

I think Guida is one of the hardest fighters to figure out.. Awkward striking that puts you off and great takedowns.. I think he nabs a decision..
