Guida has ALWAYS BEEN the ever ready bunny of MMA, NOBODY has better cardio. He is relentless.
Geeeeze...the announcers sound like they're going to meet Josh in the shower to help him lather up. Not too bias eh? Guida earned his respect. He's a bulldog on a bone. Damn!!!
Don't know why the announcers were so surprised at Guida. Herb Dean has refereed many of his fights. It was obvious they wanted Thomson to win. I've been watching Guida forever and he has always been wide open every round. Congrats Clay! You deserve this title!
Guida is a badass!! Total defeat. The comentators wanted Josh to win, obvious. Can't just wish for a win , you gotta win

Commentators obviously pulling for Josh throughout the entire fight. Calling the rubber guard a submission attempt AND saying submission attempts should be scored. Hate this. The beginning of the end of MMA
I have no idea how the judges thought that was close. Takedowns, strikes, and octagon control belonged to Guida the entire fight.

Strikes?? Octagon control?? What fight did you watch.. All I watched was a dude from the 70s try to molest a kid fresh out school.. So boring They need to nerf wrestling scores. STILL TODAY.
So glad he got his belt ❤
Nothing that Clay did there was dirty nothing was intentional He’s never been a dirty fighter in 20 years these guys suck
Clay let his hair run wild through the UFC after this fight
I don't think I've ever seen a more biased set of announcers. Guida absolutely destroyed Thomson. Won every round easily. And the whole fight, the announcers kept talking about Thomson and how great he was. Were they blind? Guida was amazing. Thomson spent 5 rounds on his back getting beat on. And the announcers had nothing to say about Guida--other than they kept expecting him to get tired.
Guida had to fight pretty much the entire organisation in that one, including the ref, none of them understand him, he's one of my favourite fighters and one of the toughest win lose or draw.
Maybe the worst commentators ever. One example among many. At the end of the 2nd round, they re-watch the illegal kick from Josh's: they need two takes on slow-motion to say it was illegal! Another example. At the end of the 4th round, the most pathetic of the 3 amigos says "This fight could be 2-2". Sure, he adds "I don't see it that way" but it's wayyyy too late man: you needed 4 rounds to come to that? But these commentators "wannabees" have a purpose, as they give us a life lesson: it's possible to inflict pain to someone just with words without even one insult!!!
I think these announcers are in love with Josh

strikeforce was based in san jose i think, josh is from there so the announcers probably knew him personally
They were saying "clay is breaking, hes getting desperate" what a joke! Clay is a badass! those announcers are the joke wishing for a draw....... they went home and cried themselves to sleep after josh was demolished! What an great example of how not to be as an announcer.

Always loved watching clay fight. Dude had near limitless energy and was a well rounded fighter.
always down to watch a Guida fight. always impressive.
These "commentators" are cheer leaders!
Clay whipped the hell out of Josh.
Clays a beast
The dumb guy announcer is cracking me up….so funny.
My memories of FCG will always be of him literally running away from an opponent for the majority of the fight.
Clays fighting technique has never changed. He rushes in and takes a barrage of hits to his face and then does relentless ground and pound to his opponent. His face has become a punching nag over the years but proves time and time again he has the stamina and chin to keep going lol. Herb dean once again proved how incompetent he is as his stoppages we're garbage.
Wow thompson looked like a rookie there. Beat down
Clay Guida was a beast
The Strikeforce announcers were always gobbling on J. Thompson's sack whenever he was in the octagon. They talk about him like he's the 2nd coming of Jesus and act like he was the baddest man at any weight. I listen to his podcast sometimes and i followed his fighting career only because i was a fan of mma, he's alright but he's historically never been great at anything despite having endless resources.
Commentators are what in love with josh Kicks up and clay is the dirty fighter Then wants to give the round to him when clay did a clinic in him Clay is a machine
Guida dominated. Truly the people’s champion.

Kudos to Guida, he showed some determination. Guida has many years of experience in UFC so I was expecting more than just keeping a man down, but anyway a win for him. Don't know about one of the commentators which was even giving a round to Josh. Stupid is as stupid does.

No answer Thomson. Clay has fought for a decade by now or longer. Those announcers know nothing about Clay. Clay owned Thomson. Congrats Clay.😃
Clay Guida has always had amazing cardio. The announcers are calling the fight they'd like to see while Josh spends time on his back. Lose and gain 15 pounds in a day? Of course, you're not going to be at your best BUT why manage your weight like that?

These commentators sound woke Clay kicked this guy's ass
wow these announcers are openly and blatantly rooting for Thompson
That 'dirty' 'eye gouge' was the edge of the glove. Look closely at the replay. Clay's hand was closed. The edge of the glove might've went across his eye. But it wasn't a finger. And it wasn't intentional. That's bullsh!t the ref and announcers saying otherwise
Too many unwarranted standups.
Are these the best commentators Strikeforce can find?
I can NOT believe anyone in their right mind thought this young fella may have done enough to win that alone draw. Are you friggin kidding me!! Guida controlled EVERY F'N round what was it, a hundred take downs are you kidding me! They were trying to do everything they could to keep that belt away from Clay even cheat if they could. I hope Clay just retires with the damn belt and then throw the damn thing in the ocean.
DID YOU GUYS HERE!? The announcers both have Joshes name tattooed on their asses.
the commentators are shamelessly biased. I am embarrassed for them, for their level of incompetence and arrogant prideful ignorance. The kind of men that would kill you and think they did God service

Looking back Guida has had a much better career than Thompson. Their pretty golden boy fell a bit short. And holy fuck they got Chuck Norris
Alot of eye gouging going on though?
Thompson didn't throw many punches to take away Guida's strength!
Does Josh blow the commentators on the reg or something? Well, it’s obvious.
Worst announcers. That was like a man fighting a child. Their cousin Josh never even made it close.
I don't know the name of curlhair men he never have guts to fight straight in front opposition
The CNN of mma announcers. It’s like Clay is Trump.
These announcers are a joke, josh spends 4 out of 5 minutes on his back getting punched...."i got it as 9-9"
lmao thanks chuck norris
Clay is not a fighter, he is a wrestler. He refuses to stand up like a man and fight because he is scared. He should go to wwe
Josh was winning the whole time except he wasn’t.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
One of the announcers is Josh's husband!! Sooo one sided. Hilariously so was the fight. Just not the way they thought!! I think the All-American poster boy just got the snot slapped out of him and what a surprise...he couldn't be humble in defeat....like a frigging 3 year old coming up against the realization they are not the centre of the world!!
Those commentators are terrible.
Should have been disqualified for sticking his finger in the guys eye deliberately. Cheater! Josh should be the winner
