Hm, i just remembered how heavy of a wrestler division this is, interesting...sign me up, i see a new and improved maia coming out and destroying everyone in his path. shame we wont see a silva rematch though.

LnP @ WW has come to an end. People have just failed to realize this.
that actually really annoyed me, I had big points and sig bets on him winning that fight...
His submission game is also a tad over rated, since like the majority of his recent wins are from UD.
MWs are also alot bigger than Maia (not that its mattered in the past) and he's not in the shape he'll be dropping to WW.
I think the drop will help him alot. The majority of the WWs are also wrestling/ground based which will help him. I think he's neglected his BJJ to get his hands up to speed but he should realize that's not going to happen.
If you promise me we will see 2008 Damian Maia at WW I will sign. If it's B-level kickboxer Damian Maia I will pass.
We will see.
I think WW will be much better for Maia. MUCH better. Its full of Wrestlers that believe they are strikers. Maia doesn't have bad hands but he does have the best ground game at WW once his debut happens.
As much as I love Maia... He won't make it far. WW is way more talented than MW these days. I think it's very possible DHK beats Maia, and if Maia wins that, he's moving on to top comp where he'll get annihilated.
Shuberling is one of the great minds of our century.
I hope Maia is successful, but I kinda feel he is doing the move down 2 years too late... 34yrs old is not the age to be playing with weight cuts IMO, will be interesting to see how his cardio holds-up

Good now if only we can keep Paul Harris irrelevant, Chael will have a long reign as MW champion.
Funny how you mention Paul Harris and Sonnen in the same sentence as if Sonnen could beat him. lol Harris would submit him faster than anyone Sonnen has ever faced!

YEP Maia can't get a hold of slower poor cardio guys but he is going to be able to get a hold of faster great cardio guys ...lol.
These guys will just speed bag him at standup and he will get all frustrated again.We just watched a supposed top notch BJJ guy on TUF get manhandled by ,you guessed it ,a MUCH faster better striker.
I hate GSP because....insert jealous excuse here >" ".

I am an idiot for thinking GSP could finish the P4P GOAT Nick Diaz within 5 rounds

I have always had my doubts about DHK. He's good but not too overly impressive. Its a good test.
