Clay Guida successfully predicted a submission win against Leonardo Santos

In the lead-up to his fight against Leonardo Santos at UFC Fight Night: Font vs Aldo, Clay Guida predicted a submission victory for himself. 'The Carpenter' came through on his prediction on December 4 and finished the Brazilian via a rear-naked choke in the second round.

"Perfect performance Saturday night is finishing a black belt on the ground with the old-school rear-naked choke, which is how we had our UFC debut back in 2006 at UFC 64. That would be the perfect night, perfect way to end 2021, another awesome year."

Guida finished Justin James in the same manner in his UFC debut in 2006 and earned a 'Submission of the Night' bonus.

With the win, the 39-year-old became the first fighter to ever submit Santos in a professional MMA fight.
