Former TUF Brazil 2 winner Leonardo Santos has issued a statement after suffering the first submission loss of his MMA career to Clay Guida.<\/p>\n

The lightweight veterans, Santos (18-5-1 MMA) and Guida (37-18 MMA), collided on the main card of last night’s UFC Vegas 44 event.<\/p>\n

Leonardo Santos had entered the contest looking to rebound, this after suffering a knockout loss<\/a> to Grant Dawson in his most previous effort. Prior to that setback, the BJJ ace was on a thirteen-fight winning streak.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Clay Guida came into UFC Vegas 44 looking to bounce back from the split decision loss he suffered to Mark Madsen in August. ‘The Carpenter’ had gone just 1-3 over his past four Octagon<\/a> appearances prior to last night’s event.<\/p>\n

Saturday’s Santos vs. Guida fight was a wild affair to say the least. Leonardo Santos stormed out of the gate landing 64 significant strikes in a row and nearly finishing Clay Guida in the opening round. However, ‘The Carpenter’ was able to survive the onslaught and the former TUF Brazil 2 winner was clearly gassed from his output. Guida took an exhausted Santos to the canvas early in round two and promptly locked in a rear-naked choke submission to force the tap.<\/p>\n

The setback marked the first submission loss of Leonardo Santos’ MMA career.<\/p>\n

The 41-year-old recently took to social media where he issued the following statement.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CXGs_VaLqGn\/<\/p>\n

“First, thank God for everything. Thank to my family, team Nova Uni\u00e3o, and fans.<\/em>
\n\u00a0Thanks for all the messages. I’m fine. Victories and losses are parts of our daily lives. We can’t skip this.”<\/em> – Santos wrote.<\/p>\n
