Sets UFC record for defeats
Guida lost to Chase Hooper via submission (armbar) at 3:41 of Round 1 at UFC 310 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It's Guida's 19th loss with the UFC, the most in company history. This one came as a +750 underdog, by far the largest on the entire card. Clay was thoroughly out-grappled by the younger, longer and faster Hooper. He gave up three takedowns in less than four minutes before finally tapping out to the armbar. Set to turn 43 years of age Sunday, Guida has openly said he has no plans of stepping aside. That may well be true, but with three straight losses and defeats in four of his last five fights, he may not have a choice. At a minimum, the UFC needs to do a better job of who it matches him up against.

Taking on Hooper
Guida will take on Chase Hooper in a lightweight bout at UFC 310 on Dec. 7, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Guida is in need of a victory after dropping three straight fights, two of them in the UFC. He was most recently bested by Joaquim Silva via unanimous decision back in December of 2023. There's a significant age and experience gap here as well, as Guida is 42 compared to Hooper's 25, and has competed in 36 UFC fights to Hooper's 9.

Falls to Joaquim Silva
Guida lost to Joaquim Silva via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Austin, Texas.
ANALYSIS
It was a reasonable performance from the veteran, although the end result was Guida's third defeat in his past four bouts. Clay's style of fighting has remained exactly the same over the years, meaning he relies on pressure and his wrestling game for success. He landed 2-of-11 takedowns on Silva, both of which came in Round 2, which was, oddly enough, the only frame he won. Silva remained upright in the first and third rounds and pulled away in both with solid work on the feet. Guida will be 42 years of age in less than a week. He keeps himself in stellar shape and still has some gas left in the tank, but the UFC will have to be exceedingly careful regarding who it matches him up against moving forward.

Gets new fight
Guida will take on Joaquim Silva at a UFC event on Dec. 2, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Guida is coming off a rough loss to Rafa Garcia via unanimous decision. The loss was his second in a row, and brought his overall UFC record to 18-17. The veteran will look to get things back on track when he takes on Silva, who is also coming off a loss. His came at the hands of Arman Tsarukyan via TKO.

No-shows loss in Kansas City
Guida lost to Rafa Garcia via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC on ESPN 44 on Saturday in Kansas City.
ANALYSIS
It's common knowledge that it will be essentially impossible for Guida to win a fight at age 41 if he isn't able to get his wrestling game going, which makes the fact he only attempted -- and failed on -- three takedowns this entire bout all the more baffling. Clay continued to stand and trade with Garcia and got the worst of it. Over and over again. Guida faked everyone out prior to his post-fight interview by taking off his gloves, only to announce he has no plans to retire. The Illinois native has now alternated wins and losses in his past seven fights dating back to June 2020. The fact Guida hasn't lost two straight during that stretch is remarkable considering how limited his offensive arsenal is these days.
