TUF 13 Finale: Clay Guida vs. Anthony Pettis

Clay Guida is infamous for his long locks and constant head bopping around the octagon.
Anthony Pettis is known for his off-the-cage head cage against Ben Henderson.
They'll go head-to-head Saturday night June 4, 2011.  Headlining as main event for the TUF13 finale.

Clay Guida & Anthony Pettis @ weighins - june 3 2011

Anthony Pettis takes on this challenge as he waits to unify the WEC lightweight championship with the winner of the Edgar vs Maynard III - still to be announced.  It would be in his best interest to win convincingly against Guida (who was a former lightweight champion in his Strikeforce days) otherwise the future fight with whoever will be the UFC champ will seem ... for lack of a better word  - dumb.  If he can't get past Guida, does he really have what it takes to be a top contender in the division?  Would he really be worthy of a title fight?  Yes, I know he's the WEC champ but has he got what it takes to be a UFC champ?

Clay Guida as far as I know, has yet to be promised any considerations for an upcoming title fight.  Will him winning this match secure him a spot as a top contender in the lightweight division? Guida has improved in all aspects of his game considerably since teaming up with Jackson's training camp.  Standup, his striking is violent and relentless.  His ground game is strong, controlled and submission ready.

I see this fight being a gruesome battle.  All limbs available will be In-Use.  Not one second of cautiousness as each fighter steps into the pocket to land their heavy blows. Pettis with his fancy leg work. Guida with his powerful takedowns.  One things certain.  Blood will be shed.
