maia needs epo for cardio. then we can start sayin maia 50-455 round will be tough, Maia's cardio isn't the best.
Still going with Maia, but Condit got a real good shot at winning.
Some good points. I was thinking mostly the same, but I didn't take possible 10-8's into account.I'd favor Maia more if this was 3 rounds. He most likely takes Condit down over and over but he has slowed down late in the fight, like against Rory and Shields. Condit will be dangerous in the 4th and 5th so I can see CC getting the finish then or Maia's guts it out. I do think there's a good chance Maia gets the sub in the first 3 or gets a 10-8, and that 10-8 could decide it. Going with Maia.

I'll go for Maia, as he has no problem to repeat the same routine as what he did to Brown back then.
Condit is a far more competent bjj artist than Brown, but he's also more aggressive on the ground, which could work for or against him in this fight.
Which raises eye to why he couldn't sub Brown with 12 minutes on his back with the body lock & Matt yawning and the ref not standing them up only because it was in Brazil and he didn't want to get shot for ruining the local guys only chance of a win.
Condit didnt even sound like he believes he can win on the MMAhour. Sounded like he just hopes to KO Maia before the first double leg comes every round
