Clay Guida vs. Scott Holtzman Betting Prediction

Clay Guida has had a chequered run with the UFC and is among the longest tenured fighters on the active roster. His career, however, has slowed down with four losses in his last six fights. While Guida will be entering his 60th career fight, his opponent, Scott Holtzman, who is in his 20th career fight, has revelaed that he will walk away from the sport after UFC on ESPN 42. Look for Guida to pick up his 38th career victory, spoiling Holtzman's swansong. Furthermore, expect this fight between two veterans to go the distance.
