So what did you guys think of the result? Maybe I'm just biased, but I thought it was bullshit. I thought Guida was both offensive, and defensive. He landed more significant strikes. And you could give the 4th and 5th round to Maynard, but still I think Guida won that fight.
But then I look back on the Diaz/Condit fight, and thought it was bullshit that Condit could simply run away like that and take a win. The difference was, not only did Guida NOT turn his back when he ran away, like Condit, but he was also more aggressive, and landed more strikes.
Thoughts?

Guida clearly won the first four rounds. He threw more strikes, landed more strikes, and got the only takedown. But the judges were obviously punishing him for his evasive (and boring) style. I don't blame the judges - Guida was boring. But was he really any different than Dominic Cruz? He uses the exact same strategy and he is the champ. Of course Cruz is able to land more punches than Guida did... but Guida still outstruck Maynard!
The best part of the fight was the end of the 4th round when Maynard got pissed and let Guida hit him just to show everyone Guida had no power. I was so hoping he would finish the guillotine.

It could be argued that Maynard won the 4th round....and that Guillotine was fucking crazy!!! I thought he had him, I was standing, and screaming at the TV at this point.
It was disappointing to say the least. Don't know how Condit gets away with that shit, and Guida doesn't.

Ok, So I've changed my stance. I realized that I am looking at it from a biased perspective, simply because I like Clay Guida. So I am in support of the decision that was made. I often forget about how these Jacksons fighters are, and they really are killing this sport.

Totally agree that the Jackson camp fighters are killing the sport. They are taking the fun out of it and making it boring. Condit beat Diaz.....a joke. I really hope Henderson knocks Jones out!
