|  Got to meet Clay Guida...
While watching UFC 80 with my buddies the sports bar I thought I had seen Clay Guida but was not sure. Shortly after they came over the PA and said that he was there signing autographs and watching the fights. I went down to get my autograph but ended up talking to him for a good 15 minutes, the guy is so down to earth and loves talking to his fans, I even got to meet shonie carter no autograph though. This is my first fighter that I have got to meet/get his autograph but i hope the rest of them are like him, the guy just had so much to talk about felt like I had been friends with him for years. I hope to meet other fighters and I hope they are just like him. I hope he gets back on the winning track the huerta fight was so unfortunate

yeah i live in the burbs, I got to meet him at The Foundry in the Naperville/North Aurora area. I think he trains in Tinley Park which is pretty close i am actually thinking about checking out where he trains
Who all have you got to meet and where do you usually meet them? I am going to try and go the Chicago event when the UFC comes into town so I am hoping to get a bunch of autographs then

That fight he had with Huerta was nothing to be ashamed of. It was pretty fucking close before the ending. That guy was balls out the whole time. It's crazy he can see through that hair.

Clay is a great fighter. Much better than his UFC record. He hasn't got any breaks. I just hope he is around for awhile, they don't seem to like to keep people with losing records. I hope they take is competition into account.
Infact has anyone had a harder schedule than his?
I never doubted he would be cool. Nothing about him would make think he isn't down to earth.
