This is going to be an interesting fight, because Carlos is so offensive and effective off of his back. It's possible he could hurt Maia from bottom with elbows, etc...or he could get submitted lol.Would have prefered a 5 rounder, Maia could grind this out now but hoping Condit can get the win.
Yea i think this one is 50/50. Love these kinda fights where one of them has to get it to the ground and the other keep it standing. UFC 202 is already shapeing up nicely.This is going to be an interesting fight, because Carlos is so offensive and effective off of his back.

Cant believe how good this card already looks.Yea i think this one is 50/50. Love these kinda fights where one of them has to get it to the ground and the other keep it standing. UFC 202 is already shapeing up nicely.
im sure Wonderman would have something to say about thatWinner has to get a title shot, right?
WonderBoy should definitely be first. I'm saying since this fight happens in August a couple of months after Wonderboy's win, this fight should decide the next shot after Wonderboy. They did a cool thing by having the two top contenders fight the two guys who just BARELY lost to the champ.im sure Wonderman would have something to say about that![]()

I just went back and watched Condit vs Hendricks, and I think Maia can get Carlos down and control him. Maia by decision. Let me know if any of you have Condit and want some PayPal action.Damn I have no fucking clue who wins this fight.
Yeah this is a definite possibility. Condit is good during entry and he excels at getting a few extra clean shots in during separation. I think if he wins it's because he landed a big shot in one of those spots.I'm a big Maia fan so I'm definitely rooting for him, but I am nervous about Condit standing up and landing shots on Maia in the transition. I'm excited!
Curious to see what else will be on this card. Already a ridiculously dope cardCant believe how good this card already looks.
Conor McGregor vs. Nate Diaz
Anthony Johnson vs. Glover Teixeira
Donald Cerrone vs. Rick Story
Carlos Condit vs Demian Maia
I'm interested to see if anyone can keep Maia off them.......something tells me that a Jackson coached condit will get it done........I'm a big Maia fan so I'm definitely rooting for him, but I am nervous about Condit standing up and landing shots on Maia in the transition. I'm excited!
This is a legit point. Has Maia faced anyone out of Jackson's recently? My brain is getting tired and lazyI'm interested to see if anyone can keep Maia off them.......something tells me that a Jackson coached condit will get it done........
Came to say pretty much this.Potentiality a very good fight. Looking forward to how it shakes out.
Not that I can see from his record....This is a legit point. Has Maia faced anyone out of Jackson's recently? My brain is getting tired and lazy
Condit is super slippery on the ground but Maia is just a beast at bjj and imposing his will and game. I can't stand it but I have to respect itWould have prefered a 5 rounder, Maia could grind this out now but hoping Condit can get the win.
I don't think so. Condits takedown defense has never been that good. He excels with cardio and heart. If this was 5 rounds I would definitely give him the advantage. Maia always gasses towards the end.I'm interested to see if anyone can keep Maia off them.......something tells me that a Jackson coached condit will get it done........
