#ScarFace #RapVideosAndGangsterMovies I got masvidal winning this one if he's not flat footed

Masvidal doesn't really have a big win besides Cerrone, I got Maia.

Man, this one is a tough one to choose! Maia is a thug on the ground. But, Masvidal is a straight killer on the feet. #ufc211

Refs can stop guys on the cage, stop guys on top. Why couldn't hat be reset?

Maia blowing it!!! Should have came out in the third round after the TD like a bulldog.

— Ben Askren (@Benaskren) May 14, 2017

Tough to score but leaning towards Masvidal for effectiveness. #UFC211

Hard to watch that

How brilliant is @demianmaia he's the ONLY fighter in the UFC that his opponents know his EXACT game plan and has won 7 in a row. #UFC211

Damage vs control?

If there's any kind of justice in the MMA world then the next time Maia fights its for the title.
