In rather traditional fashion, Demian Maia took Lyman’s Good back early into their UFC Fortaleza main card fight and never let go. After securing a standing rear-naked choke position against his opponent, it was only a matter of controlling Good’s hands until the Brazilian veteran could secure a choke and squeeze out the tap. On Twitter, pro fighters enjoyed the fight.

Demian is just so impressive. Gets the single, goes double, Lyman gets up and gives up his back, Maia gets the tap with a choke across the jaw from standing back control. SO GOOD #UFCFortaleza
