Every fight that our styles are in are potential Fight of the Night, Guida said. He goes out there and wings it and you know he’s going to be right there in the pocket firing punches. (In every one of his fights), it’s either going to be a bloodbath or someone’s going to get knocked out.
While his future opponent may boast an impressive striking pedigree, having earned 12 career knockouts, Guida’s style is based heavily on his impressive wrestling base and submission prowess. Throughout his 38-fight career, he has earned14 submission finishes, which account for just over half of his wins.
Now, Guida may have gotten away from his strong point at times throughout his UFC career, electing to stand and bang against superior strikers such as Kenny Florian and Diego Sanchez, but the Jackson Submission Fighting product knows where his true strength lies and, as of late, he has went back to his roots to return to his winning ways, knowing that his ground game provides him the best opportunity for success.
That’s what got me here to this point in my UFC career, Guida said. The first couple years I had submission after submission after submission it seemed like. My wrestling and ground and pound is one of those styles that’s just fast paced.
