Just rewatched the fight again. Maia did exactly what he wanted from first second to submission 90 seconds or so later.
Can't help but feel incredibly impressed, not just because he beat a extremely high level and experienced opponent, but how he did it. It must be one of the more impressive wins of all time when considering complete domination and executing a game plan.
Others that come to mind are:
RDA vs Pettis
Bones vs Shogun
Anderson vs Forresr
What do you think? What other fights/fighters have displayed the same type of dominance over an on paper top opponent?
