Maia really deserves a shot.

[Judge Lance Ito]

He's only really lost to Rory at WW, and took a round off the Red King.
And he's made fools of highly touted prospects like Gunni, LaFlare and Magny.

Give him a shot already, please. He's 38.

This 1 million times...

Rory vs Wonderboy should get the shot, and that's only because they didn't give Condit a rematch

Maia is another win or 2 away

 

[Exemplar]

In before the "boring grappler" cry-baby comments...

 

[AceCooch]

same as the one challenging for the title right now

Um.. no

 

[HomeRun916]

He deserves it.

 

[sirmorbach]

I have a moral obligation to bring Condit's name whenever the discussion is a welterweight title shot.

But I'd be happy for Maia. Don't think he'd beat Lawler, but I feel he deserves the shot.

same as the one challenging for the title right now

woodley beat condit. and shouldnt have been passed up for condit in the first place.

 

[Gbfury]

Yeh I Maia got a title shot next I wouldn't complain. But it's for sure Thompson vs mcdonald winner will get it, otherwise I'll eat my hat.

 

[The guest]

No he has not earned it. You have to beat a top 3 imo to get a shot. Unless the champ has already cleaned out the division. And WW is not even close to being cleaned out.

 

[subhuman trash]

UFC wouldn't allow it. Look at how they stuck him in prelims.

 

[Liquid Smoke]

Hardcores love this fight. Most non-sherdoggers not so much.

 

[Headkicktoleg]

He does. Maia vs Lawler would be interesting too

 

[Estudante]

woodley beat condit. and shouldnt have been passed up for condit in the first place.

that's right, i was basing myself in a ranking that said carlos condit was 6th. my bad. still, it was a injury tko

Magny deserves top 5 status.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

UFC wouldn't allow it. Look at how they stuck him in prelims.

They put him on the "Showcase" pre lim right before the main card so he could get more exposure.

 

[killerkalibur]

Its not like the division is loaded with guys who haven't gotten a title shot before. While he hasn't beaten anyone in the top 5, I'd prefer to see him than another rematch.

 

[ninja boot]

even if he deserved a shot why would anyone want to watch that same fight play out again? as soon as that body-lock is on i wish i could fast forward.

 

[cenksinan]

he will not get one.and for a good reason.
