Two of the UFC’s most tenured fighters will square off for the first time this February.
MMA Junkie reported that a lightweight matchup between Clay Guida and Michael Johnson is slated for February 6th, aka Super Bowl weekend. No venue or location has been announced yet.
Guida (35-20) is coming off a loss to Bobby Green in June. Last year he won a decision over B.J. Penn before a wild submission defeat to Jim Miller. His next fight will be his 30th with the promotion, as well as his 15th year inside the Octagon. “The Carpenter” has never gotten a title shot but he’s been a fan favorite thanks to many Fight of the Night thrillers over the years.
