Maia's Farewell Bout

Like to see him in Bellator tbh.


He dropped a 2-1 decision to a top 15.


Still got fights in him and beats anyone on the ground.
 
These matchups would of been way better than Belal. Even someone like Court McGee whose a fellow long timer (11 year in the UFC) would of been more exciting

Seems to be the UFC strategy to use old guys to get name recognition for younger guys coming up / to leave the old guys with no value post UFC as going out on multiple losses.

Not my personal preference, I'd rather see them in interesting fights against other old guys or younger people where they at least have a chance at winning.

That fight was just garbage and it is 100% on the match makers.
 
No one. I love Maia and even got my purple belt from one of his affiliate gyms. But his last fight he looked slow and labored. Father time gets us all. I would prefer to see him go out now rather than risk getting beaten up or embarrassed again.

If he still has that competitive urge he should do some grappling super fights. F2W puts on plenty of masters super fights. Would love to see him in a NOGI match with Rafael Lovato jr.
