I love Maia

It’s near impossible to dislike him. Rapidly becoming my favorite fighter.

Hopefully Joe Silva can get Demian another match soon.

I agree. Best BJJ I’ve seen so far. He’s the only MW I can see pulling an upset over the champ right now. (note: I’d still bet on Silva TKO’ing him though)

Maia over Marquardt. 1st round submission.

People tend to forget how much trouble Maia had with trying to sub McDonald at UFC 87. He had a deep triangle on him and McDonald powered out of it and got Maia’s back. 2nd round Maia had full mount on McDonald and was unable to do anything with it. Until late in the 3rd he finally caught McDonald. Quarry and Sonnen aren’t exactly known for having good Jits. Not taking ANYTHING away from Maia because I’m a HUGE fan…..but

Anyone with good strength and sub defense can give Maia trouble. But again if this fight happens this is going to be a battle for sure.

Marquardt is nowhere near ready for a title shot as he lacks the killer instinct to put away his opponents.

On multiple occasions in his fight with Wilson Gouviea(sp?) he had the opportunity and didn’t seize upon it. Demian Meia is much more ready than Nate for that shot.
