He’s got a resting heart rate of something insane like 28 beats per minute. At least he used to when he was fighting. Definitely the one fighter I made a complete 180 on
It was Strikeforce 1, San Jose, the first MMA event in California.
Josh Thompson was fighting for the inaugural LW title. They put him up against some thawed out looking caveman from the regional circuit. No one knew who the caveman was, but he was a body for the hometown hero Josh to beat to get his title.
Clay Guida came out swinging and shooting with a relentless pace. This guy was going to burn himself in the first 2 rounds, no way he can keep that pace up. Just laying on the GnP.
But he kept that pace up, and out hustled Josh for the win. By the end of the 5 rounds, the crowd knew who Clay Guida was and cheered loud for him when his arm was raised. Unforgettable fight.
Volk didn’t have a super hard paced fight with the Dagi. But the fight with Ortega was a crazy pace. Bisping had some crazy cardio and he is at least 50lbs heavier than Merab.
