Carpenter Clay

Clay Guida has issued a statement on his UFC 310 loss to Chase Hooper, and he isnā€™t going anywhere.

Guida took on Hooper during the early UFC 310 prelims. ā€œThe Carpenterā€ was submitted in the first round via armbar. This is the first time in Guidaā€™s pro MMA career where heā€™s dropped three fights in a row. During the UFC 310 post-fight press conference, Dana White admitted heā€™d like to see Guida retire.

Clay Guida Vows to Keep Fighting Following UFC 310

Taking to his Instagram page, Clay Guida heaped praise on Chase Hooper and thanked his supporters. He also showed no indication that heā€™s ready to hang up his gloves just yet.

ā€œThe kids got some skills!!! Congratulations to you and your camp @choop556. What a performance!!! You have a bright future young man!!! Thanks to everyone in the GUIDA MAFIA that came to Vegas to support us and the rest of the athletes!!! We truly have the best fans in the World!!! Huge thanks to my Coaches for preparing me, and to my Family and Friends for always being there! and believing in us!!! Thank You to our Family at @vaynersports for always going above and beyond to give your Athletes the Best service and most professional treatment!!! Youā€™ve raised the bar and set the standard in MMA Sports Agencies!! Proud to represent the Team!!!

ā€œWe will be back!!!ā€

Guida hasnā€™t scored a win since late 2022. In his current three-fight skid, Guida has dropped bouts against Rafa Garcia, Joaquim Silva, and now Hooper. If Guida does indeed decide to keep fighting, one has to wonder if the UFC will give him another bout or if ā€œThe Carpenterā€ will be competing for another promotion.

BKFC ? Nahhhhhhh

Rubbed me the wrong way when he stole the spotlight from someone a few events ago.

Iā€™d legit like to see Jason Guida vs Big Timmeh in slapfight

Ive been a fan of Clay since his first fights in local events around here.

He needs to hang it up

Clay should get a job as the sparring gatekeeper for the UFC. If you can deal with his style youā€™re at a top tier professional level.

He was always the perfect opponent for a rising star.

Heā€™s put on so many enjoyable fights without a single mark against him (drugs, roids, crime) that he deserves to be in the HoF. Plus heā€™s got an unbeatable record of most losses in UFC history with 19, lol

Iā€™ll always root for Clay. Let him stick around as long as he wants. Just let him be a gatekeeper.
