Clay Guida vs Chase Hooper -1100
This could be the last time we see old Clay Guida who has had a wonderful UFC career. At 42 years old, I do not think that there is much left in the tank and the line definitely shows it. What I will say is that Clay does not get knocked out. As a matter of fact, out of his 24 losses, he has only been fished by KO/TKO/DQ twice. What Clay does is fall victim to submission or decision with 11 losses by sub and 10 by points. Chase Hooper is a young buck who can fight either standing or on the ground. He is only 25 years old and at 14-3, he has 4 KOs, 7 submissions and 3 decisions. Now the obvious thing is Hooper by decision, but I am just not so sure of that. The price of this prop is massively juiced at -175. If Clay’s corner has any Brains, they will have him try to keep his distance. As much as Clay get’s choked out, he at last has a 67% take down defense and he isn’t a complete slouch on the ground himself with 14 wins by his own submissions. I think that the value has switched to Clay in his last fight going the three round vs Chase Hooper. I think Chase could win by points and the price is very nice.
Chase Hooper by decision (points) +275 – 1 star
