Preview

A Lightweight contest pits two older competitors against each other, as veteran Clay Guida takes on the Danish Olympian Mark Madsen. Guida enters this fight a winner of his last fight against Michael Johnson. It was the ‘Carpenters’ 30th fight in the UFC, as he seemingly continues to defy father time. Meanwhile, Madsen has won his first two UFC bouts, remaining undefeated. Behind his wrestling, Madsen has been a tough cookie to fend off.

Prediction

This fight to me is rather simple. Not necessarily in picking the winner, but in predicting more or less what is going to happen. Obviously, Mark Madsen is going to take Clay Guida down. He’s going to repeat this process until he gasses, which will probably happen sometime in round two or in round three. From there, Guida will rally. However, I don’t think Guida will finish Madsen. After all, Guida has finished only one opponent in the last ten years.

What my prediction comes down to is, if I believe Madsen will neutralize the energizer bunny that is Guida for enough time in round two to take the first two rounds of the fight or will Guida have rallied to take the last two rounds. It’s a tough one, but I’m going to side with the undefeated Olympian Madsen. I’m hoping that he addressed the glaring cardio issue that occurred in his last fight against Austin Hubbard, and puts forth an excellent performance. So with all that said, I predict that Madsen remains undefeated, winning via decision.
