Guida defeats Koch, Gordon wins debut

GUIDA vs. KOCH

Back in the lightweight division for the first time since 2012, Clay Guida looked like his old self in his Sunday prelim bout against Erik Koch, snapping a two-fight losing streak with an impressive unanimous decision victory at Chesapeake Energy Arena.

Scores were 29-28, 29-26 and 30-26 for Guida, who fought seven times int he featherweight class.

Guida looked sharp in the first round of his return to 155 pounds, as he pressured Koch for five minutes. The Milwaukee product was able to elude Guida’s takedown attempts, but he wasn’t able to get his offense in gear while Guida pressed the action and landed some wild strikes as well.
