UFC veteran Clay Guida returned to the win column this Sunday with a rather impressive win over Erik Koch<\/a>, which snapped a 2-year skid that saw Guida drop back to back losses. The win was a particularly impressive one for Guida, who not only snapped a 2-fight skid, but also returned to the Octagon after nearly a year-long layoff, this time at lightweight.<\/p>\n

While the win was an impressive one for Guida, he admitted following the fight that while he wants to continue fighting so long as he feels good, he has no intentions of fighting in his 40s like MMA icon Fedor Emelianenko:<\/p>\n

\"Fedor<\/p>\n

\u201cAs long as I\u2019m having fun and I feel like I\u2019m improving, there\u2019s always going to be those bumps in the road,\u201d Guida told reporters after the FS2-televised lightweight scrap at Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, Okla. \u201cI never look at it as \u2018It\u2019s a young man\u2019s game,\u2019 because I\u2019m still young. I\u2019m in my mid-30\u2019s. The scientists do studies, they say the male is in their peak at in the mid-30\u2019s still.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I\u2019m at a very strong class, very competitive. But I feel as strong as I ever have. And I\u2019m improving with the coaching staff at Team Alpha Male and we\u2019re getting better every day out there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to be doing this when I\u2019m 40,\u201d Guida said. \u201cI love Fedor for being the man that he is, and I feel like the dude sits in the locker room, plays cards in his jeans with his feet up, eats a 12-pack of donuts and they say, \u2018Alright Fedor, you\u2019re on.\u2019 He just jumps up, goes out and fights, and that\u2019s just awesome. He\u2019s a master.<\/p>\n

\u201c(But) that\u2019s not for everybody. I don\u2019t want to be fighting when I\u2019m 40. I want to be coaching and helping coach wrestling and things like that. And watching all this stables of fighters we have improve.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
