Dexter, is that you?

Is it just me or does Jason Guida look like the serial killer detective on Showtime?

by thetakeover on Sep 15, 2008 7:13 PM EDT reply actions

I think he looks more like Will Ferrell after a bender.

I say he looks like austin powers....look at that chest hair.

If the guy who played Dexter were a good bit goofier looking maybe.

Hmm.

Cagepotato.com reported a few weeks ago Jason Guida didn’t make weight and wouldn’t be on the show. . .he’s still listed, then?

Jason Guida is a creepy looking bastard. It would not surprise me at all if they found bodies in his basement and human flesh in his freezer one day !!!!!

Seriously

I was just thinking, “Who would have thought that Clay was the normal looking one…”.

The Guida family has to be the best looking family in all of MMA and the universe.

I think we figured out a while back that he didn’t make it into the house (Guida), due to the Adrenaline fight date and the TUF filming dates.

Thats very true I did not even think about fighting at the Adrenaline show.

Records?

Sherdog lists Guida with a 17-17 record. And Lance Evans as a 2-2.

I don’t know why these guys are getting listed as 26-13 and 4-2

by bloodmoney on Sep 16, 2008 2:12 AM EDT reply actions

Sherdog isn’t exactly the official record keeper of the sport.

I think Sherdog is more accurate than spike here

Guida had right at a .500 record when he fought Russow on the Adreneline show. It’s standard practice for spike/TUF to build up records. What was Corey Hill’s record supposed to be when he fought on TUF?

I could be mistaken but I’m pretty sure it was 1-0 pretty much the same as what Sherdog Fightfinder has it. It was less than 2 whatever it was and he was pushed as the TUFer with no prior training from the few shows I watched.

by natyong on Sep 16, 2008 11:34 AM EDT up reply actions

Corey Hill record

Corey inflated his own record, NOT Spike or TUF. During the season he ultimately admitted he was not 7-0 or whatever we was claiming and had really only had one professional fight prior to the show. (And it shows in his recent UFC performance.)
