McMod_FUCKS_his_FAT_DISGUSTING_MOM_in_the_ASS_BEG_is_a_CUNT_too_LMFAO Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 "Jon Fitch has the best submission defense in UFC history. He has escaped 25 of 25 submission attempts in his UFC career." I would be curious to see this fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yesterdays_Hero Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 i think it makes sense and is an interesting style match up. Fitch just got back to his winning ways by beating an up-and-comer while Maia is 2-0 against some solid competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodrodMMA92 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Maia realizes that his move to WW was a little late in his career so he's taking no chances. Using the strength from grappling with naturally bigger guys he's using his bread and butter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using the strength from grappling with naturally bigger guys he's using his bread and butter. Yea I really like that he is going that route.. Honestly, when he started standing he really wasn't that bad, but you could tell he was uncomfortable, and his chin isn't the best out there. I feel as if he really went back to his roots, and stopped training the stand-up so much, and started focusing on his excellent grappling and submissions in training.

So long as Maia can do enough to avoid getting Mardquart'd (worst fight I've seen lol) he should be able to out strength+ out technique most of the WWs he fights.

I just hope he doesn't try and stand with anyone again. He is a very entertaining and masterful grappler/submission artist, and that's how it needs to stay.

King_Can Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 toss up fitch could win via better positions.... we also havn't seen maia go into the 2nd and 3rd round as a WW, he said he was having issues with making the cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerChamp Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 this is a great style matchup when you look at it. a guy whos gonna likely grab you and beat you up a versus a guy who wants you to grab them and try to beat them up. the only possible outcome is a ground finish. i dont think the crowd will be too entertained because the meatheads only like to see knockouts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just as exciting as a stand up knock out, just in a different way. People don't like the stall tactics, and the non engagers. People want to see a real fight, and that's what Maia v Story was.

HappyFeet Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 I don't think Maia would submit Fitch, but he very well could... The real competition will be in the wrestling department, because they're both pretty equal standing and on the mat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyFeet Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Maia had better hope Marquardt doesn't move over too soon He got caught, we never got to see what would happen. I've wanted a rematch for years, I hope Marquardt does come back. I think if it does come down to a rematch, it goes either way. Maia's wrestling is better than Sonnen's, and he can hold his own on the feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
