— FOX Sports: UFC (@UFCONFOX) November 8, 2015One critical error was all it took for Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Featherweight Thiago Tavares to stake his claim for a "Performance of the Night" bonus when he wrangled the neck of Clay Guida on UFC Fight Night 77's "Prelims" undercard tonight (Sat., Nov. 7, 2015) inside Ibirapuera Gymnasium in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Guida, 33, has refined his mixed martial arts (MMA) attack in recent years, opting for a grappling-heavy approach as compared to his previous gunslinging mentality.
