Clay Guida Discusses His UFC Fight Night 120 Win Over Joe Lauzon

MMAjunkie spoke to UFC lightweight fighter Clay Guida after his win at UFC Fight Night 120. Guida scored a successful knockout win over Joe Lauzon on the fight card. Below are some highlights.

Guida on his flush knockdown on Lauzon: “I don’t think I’ve ever landed a flush knockout – a flush uppercut like that on someone. I guess that’s how those professional baseball home-run sluggers feel when they smash one out of the freaking ball park. Because that felt pretty amazing.”

His thoughts on Joe Lauzon: “Joe is one of those guys – you don’t want it to go too long, because he’s so dangerous he can finish a fight at any moment. I’ve seen him knock guys out, we’ve seen him sub black belts, and we’ve seen him sub very good wrestlers. I didn’t want to give it any chance to get out of hand. So we got in there, put some hands on him, and we got our hand raised. … I felt like it went a few extra strikes I didn’t want to.”

Guida on his return to 155: “We’re back at 155, and the cream is rising to the top. You guys watch out. ‘The Carpenter’ is coming. I don’t care who’s in front of me. I am the cream of the 155-pound division. You guys better watch out.”
