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.
