TUF 13 Finale

Anthony Pettis vs. Clay Guida set, tapped The Ultimate Fighter 13 Finale headliner

I saw that even though I dont agree with it . What up with the UFC giving the number 1 contenders hard fights when they really should be fighting for the title?

[edman5555]

That is a tough fight to call. I hope Guida wins.

[poopoo333]

I really don't want to see either guy lose. If Guida wins, he gets the title shot I bet. This is basically a #1 contender match imo, while Jim Miller sits on the sidelines furiously.

You could argue that if they really deserve to be the #1 contender then they'll win anyway.

True, I think once you've earned the title shot you should get it or get to fight a can or two if the champ isnt available

Not exactly a plethora of "cans" in the lightweight division though. Plus the problem with that logic is what happens if the number one contender loses to someone who is so far down in the rankings? It would not only kill the current shot but probably drop him so far down, maybe out of the top ten entirely, and he may never recover from it.

Well, Clay Guida is a glorified can, so it should work out great.

Well my definition of can and everyone elses probably isnt the same. I consider anyone outside the top 10 in rankings a can so it would be easy to find Pettis a can (imo) to fight in his spare time

[SPX]

They could call Shannon Gugerty back up.

or ....................nevermind

[Ludo]

The only positively "gimme" fights Pettis could hope for are against Dan Lauzon or Gabe Reudiger or something.

[SPX]

Didn't Lauzon get cut?
