Clay Guida, before his UFC 310 fight against Chase Hooper, has had a long and distinguished career, accumulating 62 matches with a record of 38 wins and 24 losses. Known for his relentless pace and wrestling, Guida utilizes his collegiate wrestling background to control fights through takedowns and clinches. His high cardio and energy are key to his style, allowing him to push the pace over three or five rounds. Guida’s unpredictable movements and aggressive striking further complicate opponents’ strategies, although his primary strength lies in his grappling. With 14 submission victories, he has the ability to capitalize on mistakes and finish fights on the ground. Guida's toughness has kept him competitive throughout his career, even when facing adversity.

However, in his recent performances, Guida has had a mixed record. Despite his experience and resilience, he has faced challenges against younger and more dynamic opponents. In his last few bouts, he has struggled, most recently suffering losses to Joaquim Silva and Rafa García by unanimous decision in December 2023 and April 2023, respectively. He was also submitted by Claudio Puelles in April 2022. On the other hand, Guida has also had notable victories, including a win over Scott Holtzman by split decision in December 2022, and a submission victory over Leonardo Santos in December 2021.
