After Diaz gets decisioned by GSP then let's have Maia v Diaz, if not then I like the sound of Condit/McDonald winner.

I know a lot of people have a new found love for Maia, but I really don't look forward to seeing him fight. If he can't submit you, he'll just control you till the end of the fight. The Fitch fight was one of the most boring fights I've ever seen. Impressive showing by Maia, but bored me to tears. He didn't even try to do anything, just got back control and held on it till the rest of the round.

Yea he should have subbed Fitch, since it's so easy and everyone does that to Fitch.

i'd like to see him vs macdonald, regardless of the outcome vs condit.
don't forget about the blatant fence grabs and the hands under the gloves.

I think that would be a great fight also, just wouldn't make sense if Rory lost. Since most people don't even put Rory top 10 atm.

meh, i don't want maia to lose.
i think rory is going to beat the crap out of condit this time and he's just a shitty matchup for maia. demian probably won't be able to take him down and he certainly can't stand with him.
i think kampmann and condit are the best opponents for him stylistically right now. koscheck, ellenberger would be really tough, especially koscheck. hendricks and rory both knock him out in the first round.

Nah, but he could have improved his position, try to mount him, go for some subs, maybe a little ground and pound, not just hold onto his back.
As I said, it was an extremely impressive performance by Maia, and he's a beast, it just didn't remotely excite me.

I think you are overrating Rory's standup, or underrating Maia's. Maia's standup is much improved.

Fitch deserved dat 3 round dry hump, glad Maia didn't finish him.
