Could Maia drag him down for an RNC? Would Thompson finish him on the feet? Would we see the return of K1 Maia?

How would this fight go?
 
It'd probably be boring with Maia hugging Wonderboy against the cage..
 
Maia's takedows are telegraphed, non-explosive and his striking is barely a threat. He is the exact opposite of Burns, who is dangerous on the feet and has power, which makes setting up takedowns way easier. He is also younger and waay more explosive.

I say Wonderboy kicks his face in and possibly wins by KO.
 
If Maia came rushing in he'd get KO'd. Conversely I could also see it being a snoozer.
 
Prime Maia chokes him silly

Now WB beats him
 
The only thing I know is that the fight would be boring as fuck
 
Seriously? Maia by sub/grapplefuck, or Wonderboy by Dec/TKO/KO.

IMO Maia drags him down and submits him.

...or he gasses out and is beaten until the end of the fight for a decision loss...
 
I like Maia, but Wonderboy would beat the everliving shit out of him.
 
WB knocks him out. Maia from a few years ago vs today’s WB? I would favor Maia
 
Wonderboy by TKO inside two rounds. I also have a feeling that in his next fight he is going to be much more agressive.
 
Maia has nowhere near the strength and obviously youth of Burns, so I think Wonderboy cruises to a UD there.
