When has Maia ever killed someone from his guard lmao?
Are you being willfully obtuse or just slow in general? How is that question relevant to what I wrote? Take that Hitch belt off.
You should rather be asking the question of, besides Colby, when has anyone ever 'killed' Maia from not just the guard, but top position in general?
When your best attributes are your cardio and hugging ability, you aren't championship material.
Yeah, he sure hugged Maia up badly, huh.
Shields, literally one of the best grapplers in the history of the sport, spent a lot of time on top of Maia and controlled him well. Difference to Colby? Aside from a few short, non-impactful elbows throughout the entire fight, Shields didn't manage to land any meaningful offense from the top position.
Weidman, an elite wrestler and an ADCC level grappler, took Maia down once in each of the three rounds of their fight. Difference to Colby? Weidman was unable to establish control on the ground and Maia got up very quickly each time, absorbing virtually no damage off of his back.
Gunnar Nelson, an elite grappler, managed to reverse Maia 2-3 times in their fight. Difference to Colby? Gunnar was never able to establish control, much less land any offense either.
