Maldonado by brutal KO to shock the world
Gettng mauled at HW isn't going to help his ranking at LHW.-Why accepting this fight ? What are the benefits for you?
FM: First thing is a thing of honor : I am a man , you know . It's an honor thing for me. If I refuse to fight, I would get embarrassed to take a picture with a fan . Second its is not difficult , it would be difficult to weight 205 in the last minute . I'd weight 205 , but I was 227 pounds , I'm weighting 228 now. Just don't have to dehydrate , I will not have to go through this . I've always trained this way, fought in the heavyweight in boxing , fought MMA in Brazil in heavy . Of course Stipe Miocic is very strong , big , knows wrestling, is a national wrestling champion , is a problem . It's a very tough opponent , as everyone in the UFC . Another thing, that made me accepted, even being a fight in heavy , I think I'm going to get a better rank in the light heavyweights , like ( Vitor ) Belfort did. Miocic is 7on heavyweights ranking in the UFC , I'm 20 light heavyweight . It is for me to rank better. Belfort knocked out Dan Henderson at heavyweight and was in sequence scheduled to fight for the title in middleweights, right?

Is that a serious prediction? I was assuming all these votes for Maldonado were people just messing around. He's going to get destroyed.Going with Maldonado via Decision in what could be an all out fucking war
