“I know I lost the decision in the minds of the judges but I really felt I was whooping his ass the whole fight and he was just holding me. Before the fight people were asking me about his pace and if I would be able to keep up with it. I felt he couldn’t keep up with my pace and that’s why he was trying to slow things down by holding on and not trying anything. I even gave him my back so he would try to do something besides hugging me. A couple of times I looked at the ref to ask him if he wanted us to fight or what? Sorry I didn’t listen to my corner and stand with him more but I never thought he would be so happy to just stall like that.”
Nate Diaz, coming off a decision loss to Clay Guida at UFC 94 “St. Pierre vs Penn II”, makes a Diaz brothers-like statement to graciefighter.com. Granted, the fight was not very entertaining, and it could be debated that Guida was just trying to get the takedown to stall. Though he did stand and pepper Diaz with some jabs, he ended up looking for the takedown, got it, and didn’t do much.
Either way, Dana White saw something in the fight enough to give him and Guida the “Fight of the Night” Honors, earning both of them an extra $65,000.
