Leonardo Santos thrilled to share cage with ‘legend’ Clay Guida, wants first-round submission win

In a battle of veterans, TUF Brazil 2 winner Leonardo Santos is excited to take on the original Strikeforce lightweight champion, Clay Guida. Now less than one day away from fight night, the Brazilian will show respect to the ‘Carpenter’, but does not intend to take it easy in the Octagon.

In an interview with Combate, Santos explained how the opportunity to take on such a seasoned fighter as Guida motivates him. Despite already being 41 years old, Leonardo still believes he is able to put on an impressive performance against someone with cardio as excellent as Clay’s.
