An intriguing featherweight contest is being reported for UFC on Fox 6, as Clay Guida will take on Hatsu Hioki. The Chicago Sun Times reported the fight as being official Wednesday night.
Guida (29-13) will be making his debut after dropping down from the lightweight ranks following a pair of setbacks. He was defeated by Gray Maynard and current UFC lightweight champion Ben Henderson after stringing together four consecutive victories.
Hioki (26-5-2) is coming off a surprising loss to Ricardo Lamas that halted his potential run to a title match with Jose Aldo.
Guida, who said he wrestled at 149 pounds in college, believes that “I present a tougher challenge for him than he does for me.”
The UFC on Fox 6 event is filling up with several exciting fights, as the main event features Demetrious Johnson defending his UFC flyweight title against John Dodson. Light heavyweights Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Glover Teixeira, along with lightweights Donald Cerrone and Anthony Pettis, are also set for the evening.
They're going all out with these Fox cards. Can't wait for this fight. Could see this fight topping of the main card, which is as followed.
Demetrious Johnson vs. John Dodson
Anthony Pettis vs. Donald Cerrone
Rampage Jackson vs. Glover Teixira
Clay Guida vs. Hatsu Hioki
Erik Koch vs. Ricardo Lamas(Was originally on the TUF 16 finale, was switched today)
