Experienced MMA fighter Clay Guida will return to action at UFC’s April 23rd event, facing Claudio Puelles in a lightweight bout. This fight was first confirmed by Fordewin MMA on Friday.
The fight joins a card that doesn’t have a confirmed location at the moment.
Guida, a UFC fighter of over a decade, was active last year with three fights. He finished his year with a submission win, stopping fellow veteran Leonardo Santos in the second round via rear naked choke.
The matchup provides a big challenge for Puelles while he slowly rises up the lightweight division. Puelles is now on a strong four-fight winning streak in the UFC that has been developing since 2018.
Puelles scored two wins in 2021, beating Jordan Leavitt via unanimous decision and submitting Chris Gruetzemacher in December.
