After nearly two decades, “The Carpenter” has split from the UFC. Clay Guida ’s name was recently removed from the promotion’s online roster (per @UFCRosterTracker ) and Saturday he confirmed the parting of ways to be true in a lengthy, heartfelt Instagram post. Guida (38-25 MMA, 18-19 UFC) was the longest-tenured fighter on the promotion’s active roster. It’s unclear if he was released or did not renew at the conclusion of a contract. “There is nothing I enjoy more than stepping into the octagon and fighting for our fans,” Guida wrote.
