Maia earns shot in crowded welterweight title chase
Saturday night at Rogers Arena, the last true specialist in the UFC walked into the cage and calmly submitted Carlos Condit without much resistance, dragging him to the canvas, taking his back and choking him out all in less than two minutes. It was Maia's sixth consecutive win and fourth finish during that stretch, which also includes victories over Matt Brown, Gunnar Nelson and Neil Magny.
As far as building a case for a title shot goes, Maia has done everything you could ask of a contender. How dominant has he been during this recent run of success? In his last four fights, the 38 year old grappling savant has absorbed 13 significant strikes total.
The trouble for Maia is that Stephen Thompson is ahead of him in line, boasting a longer winning streak (seven) with a role call of vanquished foes just as formidable as the one Maia has put together. In his last two appearances,fake value of a rolex oyster perpetual datejust, "Wonderboy" has dominated Rory MacDonald and stopped Johny Hendricks, in addition to having bested the likes of Jake Ellenberger, Robert Whittaker and Patrick Cote.
Before Maia became the current road blocked contender deserving of a title shot, Thompson occupied that position, waiting in the wings as people argued that he should be moved to the front of the line ahead of Tyron Woodley, who held on to his title shot and promptly knocked out Robbie Lawler to become the new welterweight champion.
This is just how things go in the UFC welterweight division for the time being.
While it's a great problem to have for the organization "Oh no, we have too many legitimate contenders," said no promoter ever it's a legitimate bind for the competitors left to choose between a pair of sub optimal options. With an immediate title shot seemingly out of the question, Maia can either (a) fight again, risking his place in line in a bout where he has almost nothing to gain or (b) kick it on the sidelines until his number is called, except that there are no guarantees that his number will be called because who knows what other kind of chaos will unfold in the Octagon while he's waiting his turn?
This is why champions have to defend their titles against deserving contenders, not chase dreams in other weight classes or lobby for opponents with bigger names that have no business fighting for gold. It may be great for the promotion and the parties involved in the big fight, but those types of decisions cause a ripple effect of negative impact back throughout the division that stands in direct contrast to the "win enough fights and you'll earn a title shot" dream fighters are sold as they work their way up the divisional ladder.
I love Max Holloway's moxie, but there is no reason someone on a nine fight winning streak should be doing anything other than fighting for a title next time out and he shouldn't have to wait 6 8 months before he does it either.
The same goes for Maia, as it does for Thompson. She pulled out some action movie,imitation ladies rolex datejust, Van Damme business and we've already moved passed it. That just feels weird because it was awesome.
UFC Canada GM Tom Wright was again pleased with how things went and reiterated that the organization will continue to swing through Vancouver with events in the future.
This event should serve as the blueprint for how to scheduled Canadian fighters on a Canadian card going forward: hometown fighter early and two or three more mixed in throughout.
A 10,000 to 12,000 seat venue is the perfect size for the UFC, which is why the MGM Grand Garden Arena always works so well. Anything bigger and you lose some of the atmosphere, even when there are 10,000 plus in attendance like there were on Saturday night. epaper, Digital Access, Subscriber Rewards),imitation value of a rolex oyster perpetual datejust, please input your Print Newspaper subscription phone number and postal code.
