Clay Guida released a defiant first message after Dana White called for him to hang up his gloves on Saturday night.
The legendary former Strikeforce champion made his UFC debut over 18 years ago and is still active in the octagon at the age of 43. However, he now has three losses in a row and appears to be heading into his final days in the sport. .
He faced Chase Hooper at UFC 310 on Saturday and seemed off the pace, not only in terms of grappling and grappling, but also in terms of striking, which is not his rival's strong point. He was eventually placed in the first division, repeating the result of their wrestling match two years earlier.
Dana White called on Clay Guida and other legends to retire after UFC 310
There were three longtime UFC legends who suffered high-profile defeats on Saturday night, all by way of stoppage. Chris Weidman was brutally finished by Eryk Anders, while Anthony Smith also appeared to drop his hands and allow Dominick Reyes to hit him en route to a KO loss.
'They're all retiring tonight. They should all retire tonight,” White suggested at the UFC 310 post-fight press conference before getting into an argument with a member of the media. The reporter asked him what he thought of Kron Gracie's performance against Bryce Mitchell on the main card.

This led White to believe that the reporter simply wanted him to 'S*** on all the fighters' given how bad Gracie's performance was. “So you were like, 'What do you think of Weidman and this guy and that guy?', I told them to retire,” White claimed.
“You ask, 'What do you think tonight Kron?', I don't like the way you're leading me down this road, I know what you're doing, you know the answer to the question, but you just want me to to say it or something.
“You say, 'Kron looked limited, what do you think?', Do you have anything positive or do you want me to rape everyone on the card tonight?”
Clay Guida declares 'we'll be back' after third straight UFC loss
Despite White's protests, it looks like Guida will try to make a comeback even after his third straight defeat. It remains to be seen if that will be under the UFC banner or not, but he took to Instagram to share his thoughts after the loss.
“The kids learned some skills!” Guida told his followers on social media after taking a few days off. “Congratulations to you and your camp @choop556. What an achievement!!! You have a bright future young man!!!
