KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Clay Guida says he’s in better shape than he’s ever been.
Heading into his 35th octagon bout, 41-year-old Guida (38-22 MMA, 18-16 UFC) has no intentions of retiring anytime soon. He meets Rafa Garcia (15-3 MMA, 3-3 UFC) in Saturday’s main card opener at T-Mobile Center. The main card airs on ESPN following prelims on ESPN+.
“We’re 41 going on 21,” Guida told MMA Junkie and other reporters at Wednesday’s media day. “I’m in better shape now than I was in my 20’s. We keep that same mentality in our training camps. Outwork everybody, and the rest will fall in place.”
