TUF Lightweight Champion Mac Danzig (18-4-1) announced Tuesday afternoon that he signed to fight “Carpenter” Clay Guida (23-9) 17 September in Omaha.
Last month, Danzig denied rumors that he would fight Guida in Minneapolis, but left open the possibility of eventually fighting the relentless scrapper.
Guida TKO’d Samy Schiavo (10-5) in 4:15 in Denver 2 April and is considered a test for any fighter vying for contendership in the UFC.
In Montréal 19 April, Danzig hammered knees to the head of Mark Bocek (5-2) before catching the BJJ fighter in a rear naked choke at 3:48 of round three.
