UFC 211: 13 May 2017....... 3 tough rounds against Masvidal.
Medical suspension for Maia until May 23. (only 10 days? Very short time imo, Maia took some huge body shots)
UFC 214: July 29..... a little over two months. (means Maia had ZERO days to rest)
So, Demian Maia was forced to take the Masvidal fight and now they schedule the most important fight of his life only 2 months after a tough fight against a top 5 contender??? WTF???
Maia will have done 2 camps (one for a 5 round fight) to prepare for extremely tough opponents in a very short span of time, with absolutely ZERO time to rest, while Woodley is resting, recovering and preparing following a proper schedule.
Honestly, I don´t remember a guy getting such a short time for a camp, between his last fight and his TS, like Maia now.
Questions:
1 - Does anybody still have any doubts that the UFC is clearly screwing Maia and that forcing him to take the Masvidal fight was absolutely bullshit since they booked this title fight 2 months later????
(imo, without the Masvidal fight, Maia would´ve had the proper time to prepare for a 5 round war against Woodley.... just like Woodley stayed a long time out waiting and had the proper time to prepare for his TS... and just like he is having right now)
2 - How much do you think this whole situation can influence in the fight???
If Maia becomes champ after all this, It´s gonna be awesome!
Thoughts?
