Thiago Tavares didn't waste any time Saturday night in Sao Paulo. The 31-year-old Tavares capitalized on an early double leg attempt to snake his arms around Clay Guida's neck and submit the veteran with a guillotine choke just 39 seconds into the pair's featherweight contest on the preliminary card of UFC Fight Night 77.
