Clay Guida more passionate than ever in UFC 117

SAN FRANCISCO - if you missed clay Guida press conference Thursday afternoon's UFC 117, maybe it's because you don't think to check the ground. Many years UFC light showed itself along with the other fighters on the card had not, but he took a seat at the table front.

Instead he grabbed some carpet in the first row, made comfortable and waited for the questions to end so he his Cazadores Tequila spirit award could get by UFC President Dana White.Es was a beautiful moment, but also a bit odd given the circumstances.

"It is kind of different not to answer a combat-related question, so far" Guida MMA fighting said after the press conference."But it is an honour, what I think the most stacked card 2010 ist.Jeder white, as it is when I was in the ring to get." "It will be a battle, war, and it's not pretty be."

If Guida tough easily takes a Brazilian to Rafael dos Anjos - on a three-fight winning strip - he will do so on the televised portion of pay per view. And yet, it is impossible to deny that his Bout is largely Suns and Anderson Silva, and the two number overlooked one candidate attacks elsewhere on the map with all the hype surrounding the title battle between Chael.
That's okay, according to Guida, because when the time comes he'll make his presence known.

"I put my struggle on your own, with only my enthusiasm and my action." See my strike, the introduction with me drooling on me in the cage and stuff belching. "I bring much excitement in my own way."

The last entered Guida in the Octagon in Broomfield, Colorado, in March, he was close enough to its training camp in Greg Jackson in Albuquerque, he could simply ride his beloved RV to fight.He thought it this time around, but a few different left him variables for other modes of transport to decide.

"It's a long distance from Albuquerque to Oakland." It is about fifteen hours."And I thought, you know, Oakland is a great city, but it could be a situation where I come out and the RV is not at all on blocks or the RV it", he joked.

His future goals are what he is about fun.Maybe he had some setbacks recently, he said, but he is still absolutely convinced that a UFC title with the Jackson squad in New Mexico has trained it in his Zukunft.Nun since he finally feel the pieces as you come together, he said.

"I am with the camp, I feel like I was put on this earth."Things happen for a Grund.Und I feel like with Greg Jackson and Mike Winklejohn is exactly where I his soll.Es sounds cliché, but I feel it now reason believe geschah.Ich I'm kind of my own worst distraction sometimes and it has a while to tell me that fighting is what I do, and it is I who am....I repurposed, sport and more passionate about now than ever before."

If you think it sounds hard to believe that a ball could turn the volume energy as Guida more, they are not allein.Aber while he Insised he is okay with the center of attention in the days before the event, he said, he plans to give fans a reason his way to look for when his train is on Saturday.

"I'm always excited to be in the cage, so I'm not worried about these other Jungs.Ich will go there and raised my hand."
