Dennis Bermudez vs. Clay Guida booked for July's UFC on FOX 12 event
A featherweight matchup between Dennis Bermudez and Clay Guida is the latest addition to the July’s UFC on FOX 12 event.
FOX Sports first reported the new booking. Bermudez currently sits at No. 12 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA featherweight rankings. Guida is an honorable mention.
While the card still lacks a main event, UFC on FOX 12 takes place on July 26 at SAP Center in San Jose, Calif.
The evening’s main card airs on FOX following prelims that are expected to air on FOX Sports 1 and stream on UFC Fight Pass.
“The Carpenter†Guida is a longtime UFC veteran who was a lightweight contender for years before making his featherweight debut in 2013. The results have been mixed so far, with wins over Tatsuya Kawajiri and Hatsu Hioki sandwiched around a loss to top contender Chad Mendes.
Meanwhile, “The Menace†Bermudez was a finalist on “The Ultimate Fighter 14″ but came up short, tapping out against Diego Brandao. Since then, Bermudez has earned six-straight wins while racking up a “Performance of the Night,†“Fight of the Night†and “Submission of the Night†bonus along the way.
