....and Clay says his brother was his inspiration for getting into MMA.

Certaintly something to admire imo, if he was training his ass off and kept coming back. But, he could have just been taking fights for a little bit of coin and basicaly showing up half drunk for all I know. Didn't Jon Fitch start out 0-2?

Check out this guy http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Shawn-Nolan-5080

I believe there is another guy that is something like 0-28, but I can't think of his name right now. He came to a gym that I trained at one time. He may have won by now though.

ha yeah quite impressive, the other dude ur thinking of might be Kenneth Allen 1-28!....http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Kenneth-Allen-13050

Makes u wonder at one point are these guys gonna realise that maybe they aren't cut out for fighting!

fighting clearly isn't supporting someone with a record like that, so i think guys like that are just doing it as a hobby because they enjoy it.

really? i suppose admiration is one way to look at it, but he's clearly not training his ass off given his body type.
fitch was 0-1 before getting a win. and his loss was against a veteran.

perosnally, I look at jason guida and see somebody wasting his time. but to each his own.

Mike Pyle was no veteran, he was 0-1 himself at the time of the fight, his loss was to Rampage -- who was also no veteran, in fact that fight was Rampage's MMA debut! But of course a lot of guys lose their first fight band go on to become great fighters... the man most consider #1 pound for pound is a perfect example.

Didnt Jason Guida miss weight on TUF and didnt even get to fight?

**99Boxster** · 02-10-11, 08:15 PM
