From Danzig's post-TUF 6, episode 12 blog entry:

After Saturday’s fight, Danzig will follow ‘Joe Daddy’s lead, and go back to 155 pounds, win or lose.

“I decided that before I even went on the show,” said Danzig. “I really have no business fighting the top five guys at 170, or even the top ten when it comes down to it. It’s not that I can’t beat them, but if you put me in with Matt Hughes or Georges St-Pierre ten times, I’m gonna win a number of those times, but realistically, with all skills being the same, those guys are extremely skilled and much bigger than me. I walk around at 170, those guys walk around at 190, so it’s not a good idea for me. I really want to make a run for a title, and 155 is my weight class. I feel that within a couple of years I can be a world champion at 155.”

Mac Danzig has come a long way from battling it out on the small show circuit, and now that he’s here, he’s not going anywhere.

“155 is the toughest weight class there is by far, and that’s where I’ve got to be,” he said. “I’m looking forward to jumping in the mix with those guys and I think that’s where the exciting fights are.”

:shock: Interesting to say the least!!

danzig v. guida for his first 155 ufc fight!

mac's so calm and guida's so high energy. and i think they would match up well on the feet & ground for an interesting fight.

but they'd have to give guida a W first.

I think Guida would beat Danzig at this point. It would be a very good fight, but I don't see Danzig having an answer for Guida's relentless attack and never-ending cardio.

I might have to agree.. Guida brings it.. and as long as he doesent "get caught" he's a killer with that relentless cardio and ya gotta love those double hammer fists...thats a fuckin carpenter going to work!
