In front of a raucous crowd at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, Chase Hooper produced a sublime performance to defeat Clay Guida.

Hooper replied: “I don’t see why not. I felt the same way about Clay Guida; he’s an older guy for sure, but he’s still doing the d**n thing. He’s still in here going against these young guys, and he’s doing well.
“Jim’s still subbing guys. That would be a good fight. If it wasn’t on such a stacked card like this, I felt like me and Clay could’ve been on the main card on a lot of events.
“That would be a fun one. Why not?”
