Clay Guida is set to take on Kenny Florian at UFC 107 and “The Carpenter” is hoping to make a statement with his performance on Saturday night.

The relentless lightweight has had trouble getting traction in the deep UFC 155-pound division, but sees the former title contender as a perfect matchup at this point in his career.

Speaking with Sherdog.com, Guida talks about his desire to re-assert himself in the championship hierarchy after his disappointing loss to Diego Sanchez last June. He also assesses his chances for victory against an admittedly more polished Florian.
