This will be the highlight fight of the UFC on Fox 21 fight night and is certainly a very promising fight which fans all across the globe are eagerly waiting for. Demian Maia is the ex middle weight title contender and he will be taking on none other than the former welterweight title contender Carlos Condit.
The fight will be a classic tossup between someone who has quick deadly strikes in his bag and someone who is an expert when the fighting goes to ground when the grappling skills comes in handy. Maia is absolutely relentless when the fight goes to the mat and there is no doubting that he will be focusing on getting Condit to the ground at all times. On the other hand, Condit of course is very aware of this fact and will be looking to stay on his feet since that is where he has the upper hand being the better striker.
However, Condit is no slouch on his back either. Condit is a capable grappler himself and has won via submission on multiple occasions in the past, but does he have what it takes to fend off Maia on the ground? We will have to wait and find out!
For anyone looking to punt on this fight, despite Maia’s prowess on the ground or the mat, we would still suggest that you put your money on Condit. Condit is quick on his feet, and will not be easy to take down. Furthermore, he is hungry for another title shot and victory in this fight will inch within grasp of one.
