Most Assuredly
It was a great fight, and the fact that Guida was still popping and going AFTER the round-1 barage, including that head kick...fucking amazing, I have more respect for guida.
I also have more respect for Sanchez, as his striking has become MUCH more then a 1-dimensional 1-2, which he had in the bigger weight class.
I really feel 99%, disregarding the contenders and title fighters, would have been put down with that many shots from Sanchez in the first round..
I wasn't terribly feeling that Guida was "robbed," he nearly got submitted twice during the third (unless I'm getting one sub off, I can remember clearly the near-kimura, and I believe a choke was nearly put on as well, that could have been the second round)..I did feel Guida won the second completely, and the third was close, only due to the submissions.
During the second however, Sanchez did more damage from his BACK with elbows and sub's vs Guida (who had a few good elbows and punches).
All around great performance.
