[@redsol3629]

Angelofwar 92 oh my god, oh my god!!

[@dannielson2946]

All of his fights are legendary douche bag

[@TenziingYo]

"Its time to shine Clay, It's time to shine" *Walks out of tunnel* that bit was so awesome i got goosebumps

[@nathanpickering9253]

+Herbie Hancock Didn't expect to see you here Herbie.

[@onelungshogun]

Clay Guida is the man. Win/Lose/Draw he always gives an exciting fight. He works hard, he trains hard.

[@TheMetalhead678]

Agreed

[@poolboyinla]

Clay is an awesome dude.

[@johncoontas7212]

Guida seems like a really cool dude. Kinda guy you could chill and watch the game with.

[@antman2357]

I met him at a way smaller venue in Chicago years back. Coolest guy ever. Stood and bullshitted with me.

[@johncoontas7212]

Ant Man My intuition was right. Cool.

[@minihooperprod.8332]

He was my dads strip club buddy

[@packerpf]

Love watching Guida fight, he was one of the first ones who got me interested in mma.

[@hitmanhearns8350]

packerpf. Me too bro.

[@DirtyRC101]

I get tired by just looking at him, i mean god damn the pace he puts himself through, must be a pain in the ass fighting him.

[@dustyomeara5070]

+ace b Super impressive to watch!

[@HealthyAndrew]

[@PirategamingClan]

[@s13silly]

love his energy, he reminds me of blanka from Street fighter 2

[@paulocuento9949]

they sould.. and brian stann as guile, michele waterson as chun li..

[@MrSleekit]

I love Clay's energy and personality. Thanks for sharing this insight with a great fighter with us.

[@JoeChalk]

Extremely humble guy

[@atmosphere82]

One of my favourite fighters and thank-you for letting me get to know him a bit more.

[@surfboy3216]

The kind of guy I would want to go to war with. He leaves everything out there in every fight. Don’t see many like Clay anymore.

[@ameerulaqmalmalek9470]

this guy cardio is insane.. same level as the diaz brother.. tony ferguson.. monster cardio..

[@andrewmedeiros3318]

This video was gold....the part of clay walking through the tunnel gave me chills

[@justaman6972]

one of the most exciting guys to watch, just a machine, so sick.

[@telk4675]

Win or lose, Guida always delivers. Great to watch, seems humble also

[@rottenapples14]

I'm glad he won yesterday man...

[@thinksimon]

What a great video! One of the best sport reports I've ever seen.

[@TheAbner2012]

im glad to see that they focused on clay guida in particular. just before i graduated high school i remember him going out to a local high school wrestling team and helping them through the year. crazy how he can stay so humble and include the littlest people in his life

[@garretcummings8463]

I have never seen someone with so much heart!! That's why this guy is my fav fighter!!

[@christopherwalker6056]

Clay is an awesome fighter and a pretty cool dude. For the first time, I guess with his mustache he looks a lot like Anthony Keidas from the RHCP.

[@toolfanaticgodsoftheriff8159]

Christopher Walker that's what I thought to!

[@THUNDERBAYxBOMBSQUAD]

the last couple documentaries you guys have dropped have been super dope, keep up the good work vice.

[@lgnarg]

gives me chills up my spine when a well documented video shows the walk out

[@therealdinwah]

Great energy bro, always easy to support you

[@TheRausing1]

an incredible mini-ducumentary, exiting, interesting, very well filmed, great sound editing and music. great as always vice

Clay is so humble, what a great fighter!

[@Darksagan]

Very nice, thanks Vice!

[@MrGridStrom]

This was a very neat video, I like how they made you feel you where there as he was walking out to the fight. For such an aggressive sport there is so much love.

[@ntwtransam]

Had to go listen to new noise after this! Havent heard it in forever, thanks Clay!

[@deviceds]

Love this series, Keep em coming. Clay Guida is the man!

[@hanneskrischkofsky]

[@tcswag801]

Clay way underrated fighter , dude helped hold down the lighter lb divisions back n the day . Still a warrior

[@brandona933]

I love Clay Guida! He's humble, hard working, and most of all his cardio and pace are phenomenal! I've watched him since the beginning!

[@TheArthrighteous]

Don't really care for where MMA has gone and really being taken over by the UFC, but I love to watch this guy fight! So much passion and energy! He is a great dude.

[@TheArthrighteous]

And what made you draw to that conclusion douche?

[@TheArthrighteous]

Vanilla ice I bet you have some serious sparring sessions with your boyfriend.

[@bornready8157]

TheArthrighteous great little dancer iswel

[@DevilsAvocado69]

TheArthrighteous He’s a professional punchbag at this point.

[@greatmilink098]

[@ryancwatson5349]

[@MagikFingers420]

Favorite fighter at his prime, his fights were absolute spectacles, top 1% in heart!

[@stellarcreations7378]

[@dfw1fast143]

That dude comes to fight every damn time. Nothing but respect.

[@Brimst0ne_XB]

One of the all time greats. Whether you're a fan or not you gotta give a guy respect who lays it all on the line. I'm looking forward to watching the Lauzon fight coming up. #TeamCarpenter

[@Supernovaautographs]

[@hey8174]

No peanut butter jelly? Wtf. I'm going back to wrestling.

[@LWalsh0]

I have so much respect for this dude. He deserves everything he gets

[@willwala3199]

the piano song during the walkout is bad ass

[@Moshdru]

What is the name of that song?

[@mathewwhiteford9014]

refused ! takes me back to the DAY! new noise is so good and its from the 90s

[@vXEverBeardXv]

this was my favorite fighter when i started to get into UFC

[@julessarangi]

great to see a fighter not talking shit just saying it how it is... respectful... and cool.... respect

[@SickaydaMars]

Vice!! best Doc's hands down, eat your heart out Discovery!!

[@conspiraciesarejustgreatst2059]

Guida is a true tough guy. You can say he's the perfect example of a tough guy. He's far from the most skilled and technical fighter(no offense dude. Your my favorite fighter) but he makes up for that by being a real hard worker and being tougher than nearly anyone else

[@timr5185]

Love the Carpenter...such a great dude and very entertaining to watch. Guys like him are great for the sport 👊

[@gbbox2957]

Nice video

[@jacobabraham3615]

i love this dude he always went out swinging

[@adammanning1805]

I want to see more Clay. He's a beast

[@caseythreesunsjr9057]

At 37 years old still an beast man I love these guy brings it everytime I saw him would love to see him rematch Diaz end Sanchez my goal for him before he retires go Guida go 🥊🥋🥊🥋🥊🥋🥊🥋🥊

[@bondonutz1]

Good job Vice !

[@lilmonster6355]

[@knowthinself8107]

Clay has the heart of 'Rudy' in Spades. We love you Clay.

[@sdimilus]

You gotta love this guy!

[@neilwiththedeal]

Greatest fighter to grace the octagon.

[@helmutalexanderrubiowilson6835]

love this guy he has infinite energy

[@slicknikko65]

Clay lives down the street in Sacramento. He’s a hella cool chill dude that keeps to himself. He’s always riding a skate board down J street (Downtown) and I wish Vice would do more of these.

[@Iamtherealsun]

This is what i call a complete and great fighter

[@rayd0769]

Great fighter, and surely one of the nicest guys out there

[@deand_walkabout8040]

Best attitude in the game. Glad for the win!

[@paintedwarrior516]

God bless you Mr Guida

[@jakeyalexander7774]

Clay is a machine. Hes that quiet good natured friend that goes from gentle to monster in seconds. The friend you actually try to keep from fighting because you've seen him destroy ppl

[@pleciliar3811]

This Dude Fight Like Animal Man ❤️

[@rastafy4804]

NOT really a big UFC fan in all honesty; but Clay Guida is my favorite fighter. I loved his brawler/warrior chin style... In saying that he hasn't been the same since that Wynard fight! Guida, come back brother... Come back.

[@corintohonduras]

Agreed that was an epic fight!

[@UFCvsStrikeforce]

one of my favorite fighters

[@dcnot420]

I got to do a training session with Clay at his mma gym in romeoville, il. He is a very humble guy. I also got to see him fight live at ufc fox 6.

[@vsbracing]

Refused - New Noise! A all time top 100 track!

[@R4G397]

Listen 6:43 its Metallica Frayed Ends of Sanity i love that song .

[@borisblack3219]

Respect that he listens to Refused - New Noise. Great swedish band!

[@adsim92]

I hope it feels better soon.

[@killslay]

Clay has bad ass taste in music, he always has the best walk in songs. I root for him purely for this reason

[@ConnorM48]

You go man! Stick it to him!

[@jasielrodriguez4388]

GoGuida!!! You great man. Love your spirit. Keep it simple and make a living. That's what life is about. Work hard play hard then have fun!!! GoGuida!!!

[@brunoramos9747]
