Francisco Mur breaks down Maia's shitle tot

I'm leaning towards Maia as well, I think Woodley over thinks and hangs around sometimes too long when he could just be reacting and dominating. If he moves himself against the fence and focuses too much on stopping Maia and not pressing his own offense he could get dragged down and swept.I'm picking him to straight up outwrestle and out grapple Woodley too.
Same here, but he might not even need to outwrestle Woodley, because his backtakes are MAGIC B)I'm picking him to straight up outwrestle and out grapple Woodley too.
I would love for that to be the case. I just don't see it that way. Maia gets stuck in the mud standing after a round of aggressive grappling. He's going to struggle for takedowns against woodley and he can't afford to stand flat footed in this matchup. Woodley will clean his clock if that happens. I truly hope I'm wrong. Love everything about Maia and everything he represents as a fighter. He would make a great champion/role model.

He thinks the only way Woodley can win is by KO, he thinks that Maia will either submit him or it'll be rinse repeat back takes for 5 roundsi would've loved to listen to that, but 4 minutes in it's nothing but the other guy rambling. that dude just loves to hear himself talk, doesn't he?
so frank said maia would beat woodley? by sub?
Exactly. By the second round Maia was a stationary target standing directly in front of Masvidal. He simply cannot do that against woodley and woodley is going to be a much taller task to deal with as far as securing takedowns go.This is what I'm thinking.
Maia might put Woodley in some dangerous positions in the first round, but then he drastically slows down. In a 5 round fight I don't think he can grapple with Woodley without running out of gas relatively quickly.
