Yeah sure buddy.
Maia P4P king of snooze fest. Makes this a belt fight of boredom.
He's right about sleeping people.

The title fight was boring but Maia is definitely not a boring fighter.

so grapplefuck incoming bet he thinks he can TKO Maia from top position“I could tie one hand behind my back and still beat him in a striking contest. He has pathetic striking. Yeah, his striking is effective when it’s against guys that are worried about takedowns. You think I’m worried about him taking me down? He has J.V. [junior varsity] level takedowns. Those takedowns aren’t going to work against an All American wrestler who’s been defending takedowns since he was 5 years old. I’m a completely evolved fighter. I dropped Dong Hyun Kim, last fight, 3 times, almost finished him with a knockout. He’s a pretty vicious striker; he’s knocked out a lot of good fighters and a lot of good strikers in the UFC. My striking is sneaky good, people are sleeping on it, and that’s what’s going to happen this fight; I’m going to sleep Demian Maia for all the people that have slept on your striking in the past.”

I'll laugh when Maia chokes him unconscious.
And yet Maia pushed forward for 50 minutes and both fights went to decision.Maia's 2 title fights were the worst of the modern era
If you don't let him take you down or you don't completely stop fighting, he won't do anything

lol, Silva acted like an ass the entire fight. In R1 he throws around 10 strikes to Maia's 3.>Maia pushed forward for 50 minutes
Maia cowered and ran away for 15+ minutes of the Anderson fight until Anderson got mad and started doing it back out of spite

Maia also went for 3 takedowns.
Then Maia had to chase him for the last 2 rounds.
That fight and the Woodley fights sucked because of AS and TW, not DM.

Maia's lateral drop to triangle choke from mount sequence against Chael Sonnen is still one of my favorite submissions of all time. I can't seem to find a gif of it though.
