Just to be honest with you guys:
- Maia is boring, but he's still less boring than the average wrestler than won't do anything other than takedown and LNP.
- Maia was trying to finish, the problem is that it's not easy to submit a person in a RNC when they all know that's what you're about to do.
- The referee never stands the fighters back up when one of them is grappled on the back of the other or mounted on top.
- Now you know how the brazilian feels with fighters that got no intention of fighting, just grind out decisions.
- Other nice difference is that when Maia is with his back on the mat he always find a way to sweep, I'm unable to say so as of any wrestler I can think of.
Again, if you ask me, I think Maia is a terribly boring fighter, but so it is with a dozen others.
