Clay Guida Takes the G.N.A.T.

Posted at 8:00 a.m. - Thursday June 18, 2009

After spending some time talking about his upcoming match against Diego "The Nightmare" Sanchez at the Ultimate Fighter Season 9 Finale on Spike TV this coming weekend, Clay "The Carpenter" Guida cheerfully accepted an offer to take the GNAT (Geek Nerd Analysis Test).

He may have found this challenge more difficult than any fight he's had in the "Octagon", but I think he managed just fine:

G2M: First, do you think you’re a geek or a nerd?

CG: I don’t know, aren’t they kind of the same thing?  When I was in 4^th or 5^th grade I had glasses and my buddies called me a nerd, so I guess I would be a nerd.

G2M: Ahh see, many people think that, but there is a difference.  Well, this test will help determine which one it is.

Would you rather hang out on the Millenium Falcon with Han Solo or on the Enterprise with Jean-Luc Picard?

CG: I’ve never been a Star Trek fan, that’s before my time, so I’ll go with the Star Wars (answer).

G2M: Would you rather hang out with Hobbits in the Shire or Dr. Who in a TARDIS?

CG:(laughs) The Hobbits for sure!  I saw the movie when I was young, it was great, I loved it.

G2M: Would you rather have a magic wand like Harry Potter or a tricorder like Captain Kirk?

CG: (laughs) A magic wand would be awesome!

G2M: Would you rather take a trip to Comic Con International or the International Space Station?

CG: The International Space Station?  That would be my choice, definitely.  I’ve never been into comics and going and space travel is something that not too many people get a chance to do.  That would definitely be unique.

G2M: Would you rather have Superman’s dog Krypto for a pet, or Dr. Who’s robot dog K-9?

CG: Aw man…I’d go with the real dog.  Krypto, yeah.

G2M: Would you rather travel via broomstick or Star Gate?  Have you seen the movie Star Gate or the tv show?

CG: No I haven’t, but I know about it…StarGate would be cool.

G2M: Well, as you've selected 3 from column A and 3 from column B, you are neither a 'nerd' nor a 'geek', but that rarest of breeds: The Neek!

CG: (laughs) A neek!

G2M: You can straddle both worlds, so to speak.

CG: (laughs) That was fun, thanks.

Clay Guida will be fighting Diego Sanchez on Spike TV's "Ultimate Fighter" on Saturday, June 20th.  Check your local listings for showtime.

Also, be on the lookout for Guida's endorsement of Bennigan's on "150 N. Michigan." Eagle-eyed viewers win a Geek To Me "No Prize" for spotting it!
