Clay “The Carpenter” Guida (35-19 MMA, 15-13 UFC)

Featherweight (145lbs): 3-4 (UFC)

Lightweight (155lbs): 12-9 (UFC)

Clay Guida is a UFC legend. Clay stands at 5’7″ and made his UFC debut back in 2006 at 155lbs. Guida has fought all of the legends at 155lbs and in 2013, went on a seven-fight stint that lasted three years where he fought in the 145lbs division. Brian Ortega eventually ended that run in the featherweight division for ‘The Carpenter’ with an ugly ‘passing of the torch’ fight, where he was finished in the third round.

Clay’s second stint at lightweight began in June of 2017 after he took a year off following the Ortega fight. Clay has fought in the lightweight division on 5 occasions since and accumulated a record of 3-2. Clay Guida is now 38 years old and will likely finish his UFC career at lightweight. At UFC on ESPN 11, he’ll take on Bobby Green.
