Clay Guida burst on to the mainstream MMA scene in late 2006 with a submission victory over Justin James. Up until that point, Guida had been working as a carpenter while training and fighting in his spare time. In spite of "The Carpenter" being his nickname, carpentry was not his only profession, as he also spent time in Alaska on a crab fishing vessel; however, he always harbored an intense interest in MMA.

Guida found his passion for combat sports through wrestling in high school. He carried his interest on to Harper College in Palatine, Illinois and he helped his wrestling team claim a national title.

Guida is renowned for his relentless pressure and unending stamina. He also has the reputation of being on of the true "good guys" of the sport. Guida has displayed over & over again in fights that his heart and his fighting spirit are what drives his success and that his respect for the sport and his opponents never is compromised for any reason as Guida is well known for hugging opponents right after the final bell rings and congratulating them on the mic for a great competition.
