What a fight! One of my all time favorites

Yeah I think Gunnar's fans consensus was that Gunnar would keep the fight standing and use his karate movement to out strike Maia. Maia can get anyone on the ground except big black explosive wrestlers.Nelson's BJJ was highly rated going into this fight, and still is. But Maia just showed that he is at an entirely different level in grappling. Unfortunately it wasn't enough to help him capture a title.

Yup forgot that one. Fun fact indeed. Gunnar does not cut weight at all if I'm not mistaken. Dude would be an animal at LWMaia is likely 15lbs heavier than Gunnar. The fight had some great BJJ and Gunnar even swept Maia at one point.
Rory won and it wasn't controversial.I prefer Maia at 185 vs MacDonald.
He was the first guy to go to the ground with Maia and they had a intense battle.
Maia won the fight. IIRC Rogan went bat shit that MacDonald want to the ground with Maia.
He's talking about Jason MacdonaldRory won and it wasn't controversial.
Ah. I see. I never saw that one.He's talking about Jason Macdonald
Ah. I see. I never saw that one.
First fight of his I watched live was the Silva one, and have tended to root for him since then.Do yourself a favor and watch it. If you're not already a Maia fan, it might sway you.
