Guido Cannetti’s 2022 was like none other.
The Argentine fighter, who returns to the octagon this Saturday against Mario Bautista at UFC Fight Night 221, was able to save his spot on the UFC roster and revive his MMA career in dramatic fashion. Standing as the oldest bantamweight on the UFC roster at 43 years of age, Cannetti (10-6 MMA, 4-5 UFC) defied the expectations of many.
Entering 2022, Cannetti was on a three-fight losing streak and 1-4 in his past five bouts, with the lone win dating back to 2018. It was far from an ideal circumstance. Yet, Cannetti firmly believed that he had more to give, even in his 40’s, and that he did.
