Longtime mixed martial arts (MMA) veteran Clay Guida returns to the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Octagon to battle featherweight stalwart Thiago Tavares at the upcoming UFC Fight Night 77 event on FOX Sports 1 on Nov. 7, 2015 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Guida (32-15), a fringe contender at both 155 and 145 pounds, will take on the Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt while looking to establish some consistency in the featherweight class. After compiling a 9-7 record as a UFC lightweight, the 33-year-old wrestler migrated a division lower to test the waters, where he amassed mediocre results.
Fortunately enough, "The Carpenter" is coming off a victory in which he trounced Robbie Peralta via unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night 63 back in April.
