What a ripoff!!! Anything less than 25% more Mac Danzig is a major disappointment.

Nam Phan Vs. Leonard Garcia II for UFC Fight Night 24.

As fun and controversial as the first one was, I don't see the need for an immediate rematch, but oh well....

Kenny Florian expects to return in May, wants Anthony Pettis

I like it, this would be a good fight to judge Pettis skills in the UFC's LW division.

Thats a tough fight, K-Flo might be one of the most well rounded fighters in the UFC. I envision him taking Pettis to the ground and just smothering his striking game.

Throw in 5% more Roli Delgado and I'm sold....

That is a very tough fight for a guy making his UFC debut and taking a fight when he was promised a title fight in the first place.

IMO Pettis would be foolish to take a fight with Florian. I also dont like that if K-Flo wins it puts him back to the top of the heap. I am ready to see some new guys Dunham, Soto etc...

Clay Guida vs. Anthony Pettis Planned for Late Spring

http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2011/1/11...or-late-spring

When UFC lightweight contender, Anthony Pettis, revealed this week that he planned on taking a fight this spring instead of sitting on the sidelines to await the result of the Frankie Edgar-Gray Maynard championship rubber match, many fans speculated on possible opponents for "Showtime". Even agent, Malki Kawa, suggested that his client, Kenny Florian, would be interested in the bout. Now it appears that the UFC has instead opted to set up a fight between Pettis and perennial fan-favorite, Clay Guida, for a May or June UFC card, according to Heavy.com:

A lightweight bout between Clay Guida and final WEC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis is being targeted for UFC 130 or UFC 131. Sources close to the bout informed Heavy.com of the news Monday night.

Clay "The Carpenter" Guida (28-11)
Win Takanori Gomi - submission (guillotine choke) - UFC 125
Win Rafael dos Anjos - submission (jaw injury) - UFC 117
Win Shannon Gugerty - submission (arm triangle choke) - UFC on Versus 1

Anthony "Showtime" Pettis (13-1)
Win Ben Henderson - decision (unanimous) - WEC 53
Win Shane Roller - submission (triangle choke) - WEC 50
Win Alex Karalexis - submission (triangle choke) - WEC 48

UFC 130 is expected to take place on Memorial Day Weekend in Las Vegas, while UFC 131 is rumored for Vancouver, BC on June 11th.

That's a tough fight for Pettis. Guida is very difficult to finish and Pettis has poor takedown defense. This could be a fight he needs to win from his back, and we all know how seldom judges score fights that way

I agree 100%. I would have love to see Pettis fight Melvin\Dunham winner. The UFC loves clay he has so many fans and prob are pushing him for a title shot if he wins...

I agree is a tough fight, but I don't agree that Guida's wrestling is superior to Bendo's or Roller and Pettis handled them just fine.
