Another UFC Fight Night will take place on December 4th at Amway Center. In one of the preliminary card events, American lightweight Clay Guida will fight lightweight American Scott Holtzman. The fight is planned for 03:00 UK time.
It’s odd to see a fighter who hasn’t fought in a year and eight months as the favorite in this fight. There are no visible aspects in which Guida looks inferior. Yes, this guy’s fights are always rocky, but he remains active, which is no small thing. What kind of physical shape Scott is in is anyone’s guess.
The American “Carpenter” is 40 years old and has 37 wins and 22 losses in his martial arts career. Guida begun his professional career in the summer of 2003, losing via rear-naked choke in the first round. In the cage, Guida relies on his boxing and advanced grappling skills. More often than not, he wins by either submission or decision. He has fought a variety of opposition, but usually Clay Guida is not given to weak opponents. This guy holds his own at the appropriate level and does not fall below his level. In his most recent fight, though, he had a chance to lose to Claudio Puelles, who caught the veteran on a knee lever.
American “Hot Sauce” started his debut in professional mixed martial arts in 2009. Scott Holtzman has had a long break without a fight. The 39-year-old American had his last fight in April 2021, where he was knocked out by Mateusz “Gamer” Gamrot. Earlier, he was also cut down by Beneil Dariush with a single punch. Overall, “Hot Sauce” was always a pretty good fighter, and kept a high level for years. Still, an unforeseen slump hit home for him. During his career he had 14 wins and five losses.
Holtzman possesses versatile fighting skills. He has good punching skills in the rack, some knowledge of jiu-jitsu which helps him to defend against different painful and suffocating holds.
