Aptly named Resolution, this UFC event couldn't be more suitable to start the new year. Fireworks took place and blood was spilled, just like the blood drippin' from the fingers of a stupid fool playin' with firecrackers. I thought I should write about this because the PPV replay didn't cease to amaze me. Well, off to the (replayed) festivities!
Takanori "The Fireball Kid" Gomi VS Clay "The Carpenter" Guida
Clay already had this in the bag even before the fighters were introduced. Even if I'm Asian, my confidence in Gomi in this one is really next to none for I know that he would never be able to keep up with Clay's relentless pace. Add to that the fact that Clay has been on a tear lately, plus the fact that Gomi's career is on the downside (even at a relatively young fighting age of 31), and you'll know WTF I am talkin' about.
Guida's footwork and head movement really looked crazy ridiculous! He looked like an epileptic on steroids or somethin'. In fact, Guida's prancing around looked so crazy that Gomi didn't even know what to do with the fucker. I mean, he couldn't tag him cleanly. Guida's dancin' literally took Gomi off his timing and rhythm.
I guess Gomi was so confused with all the shit that was happenin' in the octagon that he got caught in a Joe Daddy guillotine while they were transitioning and shit. This clearly showed that Guida had better transitions on the ground. But for me, Guida will never be a true contender. He's just a solid gatekeeper for the UFC's lightweight division.
