UFC on ESPN 42 results: Clay Guida spoils Scott Holtzman’s retirement by wrestling to split decision

BAD MMA News — Sun, 04 Dec 2022 03:08:36 +0000

UFC Hall of Famer Clay Guida still possesses a wrestling game that can frustrate opponents. In Scott Holtzman’s final UFC bout, Guida (38-19 MMA, 18-16 UFC) leaned on what he does best to convince two of the three judges he was the winner, earning two 29-28 scores on the official scorecards. Holtzman (14-6 MMA, 7-6 UFC) made a solid account for himself in the striking department, but only one judge sided with his performance. The lightweight bout was part of the UFC on ESPN 42 preliminary card at Amway Center in Orlando, Fla. With the crowd chanting Guida’s name, the two lightweights got right into the action at the beginning of the fight. Holtzman took control of the center of the cage after the initial exchanges, looking to land big punches as Guida attempted to mix things up with kicks and takedowns. In the second, Guida found early success in the clinch, as he pursued takedowns more aggressively.

Scott Holtzman not fazed by Beneil Dariush’s grappling, targets knockout win at UFC on ESPN+ 32

BAD MMA News — Fri, 07 Aug 2020 23:35:27 +0000

LAS VEGAS — Scott Holtzman thinks Beneil Dariush will be making a big mistake if he overlooks him. Holtzman (14-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC) faces Dariush (18-4-1 MMA, 12-4-1 UFC) Saturday at UFC on ESPN+ 32 and, while he may not be the ranked opponent Dariush was looking for, Holtzman still sees himself as a worthy adversary. A winner of five of his past six outings, Holtzman is coming off a unanimous decision win over veteran Jim Miller in a “Fight of the Night” effort at UFC on ESPN+ 25 in February. “I think we’ve seen it time and time again,” Holtzman told reporters at the UFC on ESPN+ 32 virtual media day Thursday. “You underestimate a guy, you go in there, you look past him, next thing you know you get beat

Kevin Holland on turnaround after last week’s last-minute cancellation: ‘I guess I’m double ready’

Kevin Holland ’s road to his seventh UFC bout has been strange to say the least. The UFC middleweight had two bouts fall out over the past few months. The first was back in May, when he was forced to withdraw from UFC on ESPN 9 due to injury

Beneil Dariush initially wanted a top 15 opponent, but Scott Holtzman is ‘an absolute stud’

BAD MMA News — Tue, 04 Aug 2020 17:30:25 +0000

Beneil Dariush is enjoying his best run in years, but can’t seem to net a ranked opponent. Dariush (18-4-1 MMA, 12-4-1 UFC) faces Scott Holtzman at UFC on ESPN+ 32, which takes place Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. It took a while for the fight to get finalized since Dariush was in the midst of negotiating a new contract. He’s won four in a row and is coming off three straight “Performance of the Night” bonuses, which Dariush believes should warrant a bump in pay. But Dariush explained that while he has a great relationship with UFC matchmaker Sean Shelby, there just weren’t any ranked opponents available for him to fight.
