How special was what Maia did last night?
I've never taken a BJJ class in my life so I'm not even a white belt. I've watch MMA for 15 years and I've seen getting your back taken go from a death sentence (where even a guy like Igor Vov was choking you out) to a very low finishing % position as guys learned how to defend the RNC. I mean we saw Da Bronx take Pettis' back what seemed to be half a dozen times last night and not even coming close.
So for Maia to take a guy's back and finish seconds later, a grizzled vet like Condit who comes from arguably the best camp in the business and has spent YEARS defending that shit, how next level is that?
