Dana claimed that Guida's practical joke at UFC Kansas City had him fuming.

Contrary to initial expectations, the battle turned out to be very competitive.

This led Daniel Cormier to approach Guida to announce his retirement.

There ain’t no way I’m walking away yet. I want to congratulate this young man, Rafa Garcia." He ended the segment by wishing his mother on her birthday.
