Maia is gunna win this easy or maybe not easy but he will win.

If Martin Kampman can handle Condit then imagine what Maia is gunna do to him. I think i will get my blanket and pillow out for this fight as i watch 2 grown men rub bodies and wrestle all sweaty for 15min.

I actually think Condit wins this easy. Condit's footwork will help keep Maia off of him.

Did it help him with Martin Kampmann? no way and Maia is one of the best if not the best BJJ guy in mma.

I honestly don't see anyone beating Maia and his style is the reason he is not getting a title shot. He could honestly beat anyone in the WW division buy just laying on them for 3 or 5 rounds but the UFC does not want that type of title fight.

I like Maia, but he gasses hard, fast. Rory beat him soundly and in round 5 of the LaFlare fight he got point taken because he wouldn't get off ground.

I really like Maia, but I suspect UFC doesn't want him as champion.

I'm pretty sure Maia would beat Lawler, if he didn't get caught quick, but I think Condit will beat him pretty bad. Rounds one and two might be difficult.

If I remember correctly it was round two when Rory started easily stuffing his takedowns.

I could be wrong, but if I gambled I'd bet the farm on Condit.

Now I will give you that, Maia does gas quick but this is a 3 round fight i think and not 5. If it were a 5 round fight then yes Condit would win, but I think Maia has some if not the best BJJ of all-time. Also his ground game is now evolving and he now does GNP and tries to finsh you or choke you, were before he laid on ppl a lot and just wore them out.

I dont think its fair to compare Carlos Condit 7 years ago to the fighter we see now. Plus, I dont remember the first Kampmann fight being a blowout. It was a SD and Condit smashed him in the rematch.

The thing about Condit, is he can't stuff a takedown to save his life.

Very interesting fight. Super excited for it.

Maia is one of my absolute favorites. I'd love to see him take out Condit and finally get the WW title shot.

Lorenz Larkin replaces injured Dong Hyun Kim and will be fighting Neil Magny.

That should be a fun fight. I like this matchup a lot for both fighters.

Re: UFC 202: Diaz vs McGregor II (Aug. 20th)

Yeah man, I think Magny has more tools to get it done. I don't want either of those guys to lose, fans of both of them.

Me too. I like both fighters a lot and Magny is one of my favorite fighters.

Me personally I see Larkin having a lil trouble with the size and reach of magny also magny is a beast on the ground, so it's going to be a hard fight for Larkin. Now Larkin can have the edge with his speed and striking but he's going to need a perfect game plan to beat magny. Should be fun can't wait.

After UFC 196 i'm waiting to watch Conor McGregor in action

Re: UFC 202: Diaz vs McGregor II (Aug. 20th)

Kinda hard to pick who wins this honestly. I wanna go ahead and and say that nate's size, durability, and 1-0 lead are gonna be problems for conor yet again. But I also am well aware of Conor's striking being very proficient in an MMA environment. He keeps his composure very well and is a beast in the pocket despite the threat of kicks/takedowns.

If I was forced to make a pick I might favor McGregor, but it's tough tough call.

After my 3rd time watching i gotta say i think Nate might've won that first round, and if conor gassed from that round he will be in some serious trouble.

"I haven't really thought about it. For the most part, those WWE guys are p*ssies. To be honest, they're messed up p*ssies if you ask me. Fair play to Brock, he got in a fight but at the end of the day he's juiced up to the (expletive) eyeballs so how can I respect that?"

Lol.
