Guido Martín Cannetti Álvarez (born December 19, 1979)[1] is an Argentine mixed martial artist who currently competes in the Bantamweight division. He is most notable for his stint in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.[4]

Background

[edit]

Growing up, Guido practised kickboxing and Muay Thai with his brother Bruno, who is also a professional mixed martial artist.[5]

Mixed martial arts career

[edit]

Guido Cannetti became a professional mixed martial arts fighter in 2007. He won his MMA debut fight by submitting Santiago Terbalca in a Featherweight bout. On his second fight, he defeated Enrique Chimeyo to remain unbeaten. For his next fight, Cannetti moved up to Lightweight division in order to face Cristiano Marcello at the Bitetti Combat 8 event in Brazil. He lost the fight via first-round submission.

Cannetti returned from his loss and entered in a four-fight winning streak by defeating Benjamín Arroyo. He was expected to face up David "Escorpión" Ibérico in a Conviction MMA event to be held in Argentina. On July 7, 2012, the promotion announced that Ibérico withdrew from the fight after suffering a shoulder injury. Cannetti instead faced Jack Guzmán in a bout that marked his return to Featherweight division. He won the fight via first-round knockout. Then he defeated Bellator MMA and WEC veteran Rafael Dias in just 11 seconds in a fight that marked his return to Brazil.

Subsequently, Cannetti tried out for UFC's Latin America developmental program and was accepted into it.[6] As a result, Cannetti moved down to Bantamweight division and begun training at the Jackson's MMA academy at UFC's expense.[6] While in Albuquerque, he defeated Eliazar Rodriguez in a bout that closed his four-fight winning streak before trying out for The Ultimate Fighter in 2014.

In May 2014, it was revealed that Cannetti was a cast member of The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America, competing for Team Werdum.[7]

Over the course of the show, Cannetti was defeated in the first round of tournament by Marco Beltrán via majority decision after two rounds.[8] Ecuadorian fighter and Team Werdum teammate Marlon Vera was withdrew the tournament after a skin infection and was replaced by Guido Cannetti. Cannetti was defeated by Alejandro Pérez in semi-finals of tournament via first-round knockout.[9]

The bout proceeded at a catchweight and he forfeited 30% of his purse to Cannetti.[28] Cannetti lost the fight via split decision.[29]
