Sucks that the guy will never fight for the WW belt. I like Maia but he's always been derailed when on a good winning streak. He was one fight away possibly from fighting GSP when Shields beat him, and now Condit will do the same. Condit is just too smart and too good of a striker to let Maia get near him. By the 3rd round, if it goes that far, you're gonna end up seeing Maia reaching and spamming for TDs.
 
could have said the same thing about bisping, that he was always one fight away and always came up short. but if you hang around long enough and stay competitive, it will be your turn eventually. maia may lose to condit but i do think he'll wind up getting a shot at some point.
 
Will bump when Maia wins 30-26.
 
Poor Maia. Condit is smart. Like when he fought Hendricks and avoided all the takedowns...
 
Maia should probably be favorite Vs Condit imo.

Wonderboy Vs Maia early 2017
 
Maia IMO deserves the title shot after Wonder Boy......Props to Maia for taking this fight against Carlos Condit. The guys a true prize fighter.

Yeah, this should have been the real title fight
 
im goin to take maia in this match up. i can see him closing the gap on carlos and forcing the clinch enough for him to take at least 2 rounds

or he gets knocked the fuck out....but ya know....lets go maia
 
Condit is tailor made for Maia. If the UFC is street fighter, Condit is the nissan bonus stage for Maia.
 
Man, this is a very interesting fight, and 202 is looking really good.

I think it is a very risky fight for Maia, Condit is so well rounded & has stamina for days.

But Maia has continued to impress against the odds in his recent run, so don't ever count him out.
 
He's a grappling specialist fighting a guy in Condit with historically, some of the worst TDD in the division's history. Let's not count him out that quickly.
 
Condit's takedown defense is not the best. Of the fighters in the top 5 Maia arguably matches up best with Condit and he has a rock solid case for the title shot if he wins.

Maia isn't Hendricks when it comes to TDs. Yeah he's better at getting things done on the ground just not as good getting it there.

I'd be sweet if Maia could get the win.
