why? because your a fan of fighters who run away for 25 minutes and cry about their hair getting pulled?

Hioki will submit Clay Guida. I agree. Clay is a good fighter and a gatekeeper. Hioki is a very good fighter and a perennial contender. 2 classes of fighters here. Clay has a decent ground game, but Hioki is great on the ground.

clay guida's wrestling is not that great. You will notice when he faces other wrestlers he is not that successful with his takedowns. Clay is good at timing his shots, usually shooting by ducking under strikes. Hioki loves to use a front kick to keep distance. He is very successful with this technique. Hioki has strong hips and will most likely have a stronger sprawl than Clay Guida's shot. This will force Clay to stand with the taller fighter.
Hioki fights "tall" and is great with using movement to avoid takedowns. Much like Machida and JDS, his constant movement will frustrate a straight ahead brawler like Guida. Hioki uses technical straight punches and can double up on the jab -- He does not over-commit with wild attacks like overhand rights and sloppy strikes that Guida loves to time to his his takedowns. Look for Hioki to utilize numerous leg kicks to slow Guida down. Hioki will throw many of them and they are accurate and powerful . Clay's stands straight in front of his target and this will be doom against Hioki.

I really hope so. I absolutely hate watching Guida fight. He isn't and never has been exciting.
Hioki has a chance here, but I think Guida may be a bit too quick for him.

I have a feeling Hioki will end up running into the wall all Japanese fighters run into. American wrestlers. Correct me if Im wrong, but Curran is the only fighter with a wrestling background Hioki has faced. And Currane stopped wrestling his freshman year in high school to concentrate on bjj. Hioki has very good submission skills, but only Florian has defeated Guida by submission in the past 6 years. I see Guida overwelming Hioki and winning a UD.
I will be pulling for Hioki after Guida pulled his stunt against Maynard, but I see Guida winning.

Kinda like Nate Diaz will beat Henderson??? You were sure of that to. You also still think Nick is going to beat GSP which is pretty funny.

Clay gives absolutely NO ROOM for his opponent to work, it is apalling.. see my post in the Tito/Cain GNP to see exactly why this is a hard style for most to watch. His fight with Pettis was awful, no guard passing, no punishing strikes -- awful fight and followed up with an AWFUL fight against Maynard where he chose not to engage.
