Clayton Charles Guida (pronounced /ˈɡwiːdə/; born December 8, 1981) is an American mixed martial artist and currently fighting in the UFC as a lightweight. Guida was the first Strikeforce Lightweight Champion and held the title until being defeated by Gilbert Melendez at Strikeforce: Revenge. As of October 2011, Guida is ranked as the #8 lightweight fighter in the world by Sherdog and #6 lightweight by MMAWeekly.com.
Guida is renowned for his relentless pressure and unending stamina.
During the early stages of his MMA career, Guida worked as a carpenter (leading to his nickname, "The Carpenter") while training and fighting in his spare time, compiling a professional record of 20-6.
Clay was generous enough to finance the inspirational video played before the state championship matches. He stepped in with the money after the Illinois High School Association was not able to pay for it.[unreliable source?] Clay is a former Illinois wrestler for Johnsburg High School.
Guida was successful in his UFC debut, submitting Justin James in the second round at UFC 64.
Dana White (born July 28, 1969) is the current President of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), a mixed martial arts organization based in the United States.
Born in Manchester, Connecticut on July 28, 1969, White grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada, Ware, Massachusetts and Levant, Maine. White is a passionate Boston Red Sox fan. During his youth, he bounced back and forth between Boston and Maine. He attended the University of Massachusetts Boston but did not finish; however, while there he did launch a boxing program for inner-city youth.
White has a background as an aerobics instructor. In 1992, White established Dana White Enterprises in Las Vegas. He conducted aerobics classes at three gyms in the Las Vegas area and began managing MMA fighters Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell.
While working as a manager, White learned that Semaphore Entertainment Group, the parent company of the UFC, was looking for a buyer for the UFC. White contacted childhood friend Lorenzo Fertitta, an executive at Station Casinos, and a former commissioner of the Nevada State Athletic Commission. Within a month, Lorenzo and his older brother Frank bought the UFC, with White installed as its president. White currently owns about 9% of Zuffa, LLC, the entity the Fertitta brothers created to own and manage the UFC.

TUF 13 Finale: Clay Guida Post-Fight Interview
It's time for healing, time to move on
It's time to fix what's been broken too long
Time to make right what has been wrong
It's time to find my way to where I belong
There's a wave that's crashing over me
And all I can do is surrender
Whatever You're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but somehow there's peace
It's hard to surrender to what I can't see
But I'm giving in to something Heavenly
Time for a milestone, time to begin again
Re-evaluate who I really am
Am I doing everything to follow Your will
Or just climbing aimlessly over these hills?
So show me what it is You want from me
I give everything, I surrender
To whatever You're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but somehow there's peace
And though it's hard to surrender to what I can't see
I'm giving in to something Heavenly, something Heavenly
Time to face up, clean this old house
Time to breathe in and let everything out
That I wanted to say for so many years
Time to release all my held back tears
Whatever You're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but I believe
You're up to something bigger than me
Larger than life, something Heavenly
Whatever You're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but now I can see
This is something bigger than me
Larger than life, something Heavenly, something Heavenly
It's time to face up, clean this old house
Can you fix a broken heart
That is tearing me apart?
I didn't know that this could be so
hard
Missing your warm embrace
Angel's smile on your face
Remembering our happy days
Refrain:
How will I start the day
When your love has gone away?
Can you help me?
Help me find the way?
Since the day you went away
My life has gone astray
Can you help me?
Help me find the way?
Chorus:
I always hear my heart
Calling out your name
I feel within my heart
Crying out in vain
Would you tell me
How to mend this pained
Broken heart?
Thinking of our memories
Puts me down on my knees
Does it have to end like this?
It was like yesterday
When I begged you to stay
But you keep on runnin' away
Refrain:
How will I start the day
When your love has gone away?
Can you help me?
Help me find the way?
Since the day you went away
My life has gone astray
Can you help me?
Help me find the way?
Chorus:
I always here my heart
Calling out your name
I feel within my heart
Cryin' out in vain
Tell me how to mend this pained
Broken heart?
Refrain:
How will I start the day
When your love has gone away?
Can you help me?
Help me find the way?
Chorus:
I always hear my heart
Calling out your name
I feel within my heart
Cryin' out in vain
Tell me how to ease the pain
Would show me how to mend this
pained
I will be here for you
Somewhere in the night
Somewhere in the night
I'll shine a light for you
Somewhere in the night
I'll be standing by
I will be here for you
When you feel the sunlight
Fade into the cold night
Don't know where to turn
Don't know where to turn
And all the dreams you're dreaming
Seem to lose their meaning
Let me in your world
Baby, let me in your world
All you need is someone you can hold
Don't be sad, you're not alone
I will be here for you
Somewhere in the night
Somewhere in the night
I'll shine a light for you
Somewhere in the night
I'll be standing by
I will be here for you
In this world of strangers
Of cold and friendly faces
There's someone you can trust
There's someone you can trust
I will be your shelter
I'll give you my shoulder
Just reach out for my love
Reach out for my love
Call my name
And my heart will hear
I will be there, there's nothing to fear
I will be here for you
Somewhere in the night
Somewhere in the night
I'll shine a light for you
Somewhere in the night
I'll be standing by
I will be here for you
I will be here for you
Somewhere in the night
Somewhere in the night
I'll shine a light for you
Somewhere in the night
I'll be standing by
I will be here for you
Tuwing pinipikit ang mata ngiti mo
ang nakikita
Saan man magpunta yakap mo ang
nadarama
Chorus:
Lumipas man ang mahabang
panahon
Pag-ibig ko'y di tatanda para sayo
Tumigil man ang ikot ng mundo
Ang tibok ng puso'y di magbabago
Para sayo
Sa bawat paghinga ikaw ang naaalala
Sa'king pag-iisa, pag-ibig mo
Ang lagi kong kasama
Bridge:
Maubos man ang tinig ko aawit parin
ang puso
Para lang sayo
Outro:
Magbago man ang takbo ng mundo
Pag-ibig ko'y mananatili sayo
Matapos man ang awit kong ito
Ang tibok ng puso'y di magbabago
Verse 1: I guess it's time to settle all the things. The pain it brings. In my life. They say the love can be the protocol. I can end it all. In my life.
Refrain: How many times do I have to explain myself without you in my life? How many times do I have to say...
Chorus: Get Away! I can't control my feelings. Feelings so strong that you'll never know. Give it up! The game you play is over. You burned out so hard you lost control.
Verse 2: Try to stop when you carelessly, present to me, a fistful of lies. It doesn't matter what you even say. Well, those games you play, well ,some might say.
(Refrain and Chorus)
(Solo)
Refrain: How many times do I have to explain myself without you in my life? How many times do I have to say....
Bridge: Get Away from me. Get Away from me. Get Away from me. Get Away from me.(Get Away from me.) I guess it's time to settle (Get Away from me.) all the things, (Get Away from me.) the pain it brings. SO TELL ME OFF!!! (Drum Solo)
(Chorus)
Verse 1: Hours past and days go by. And I still wonder why. You drive me crazy. And you know it. It's not so easy. To show it. You drive me crazy. And you know it. It's not so easy. To show.
Chorus: I am one, lost inside your eyes. So please help me make the compromise. Falling further 'mongst the Crimson Sky!
Verse 2: Hours past and the days go by. And I still wonder why. You drive me crazy. And you know it. It's not so easy. To show.
