good postJacare wrecks him.
Better wrestling
ARGUABLY better BJJ, he's been removed from competition for less time and his peak as a performer was at a higher level for longer than Maia's. We can debate this till we're blue in the face about who is better, but Jacare had the better career by far.
Better striking by a mile
Bigger, stronger, faster, more athletic
Because of the nature of the matchup I can see it being close, particularly over five rounds but I think Jacare molests him to be honest. Maybe even taps him after stunning him first. I'd say Maia could win via attrition, but Maia slows just as much as Jacare does and Jacare has proven that he can go five hard rounds and still explode late in fights.
Maia to me has better bjj, and I also think he would beat jacaré in mma.Jacare via better striking?
Jacare would not control Maia. Good fight, but Maia has the edge.They grappled before in BJJ, Maia said Jacare was one of the best BJJ guys he ever grappled with. in a MMA fight I can't see how Maia could beat Jacare, he wouldn't be able to take him down, would be forced to stand, and even if he did get him down it would be equal or Jacare would just control him

No they are 1-1, but when Maia won his rematch he controlled mostly the whole fight. It was great. He pretty much dominated.Didn't Jacare have the more wins when they competed against each other in grappling?
