With how hard people were selling Maximov's BJJ and staying active on Submission Underground I'm really not impressed. It's good but it's not great either.

This is why you should get at least double digit wins before heading into the UFC like this. See way too many young prospects with single digit undefeated records rush into the promotion only to get **** on and dropped after two or three fights. Cody ****** up big time.

Hopefully Brundages wife doesn't divorce him after this loss and sticks with him during this difficult time, a win is just a fight away, now back in the kitchen

UFC needs a double A league. Combine DWCS, TUF, and Lookin For a Fight or whatever into a permanent organization to grow prospects in. Get it on ESPN proper on a weekly basis. Use the Apex for it when the big cards start going to crowd shows again.

This is what happens when you try to get takedowns from your knees. No momentum and you end up on bottom or eating dangerous shots. Not overly impressed with maximov but plenty of potential

29-28 Maximov.

Welp hat's one dog pik down. That won't be the last time I fade Maximov though, I don't rate him against anyone that isn't a bag of corn syrup.

I've never seen anyone try to finish takedowns so persistently while on both knees... recipe to get knocked out from bottom if you ask me.

@Davis410 I remember watching Maximovs last fight and he was slow there as well. I assumed it was because it was against a heavyweight, but I guess that's the way he is in there.

wait did I see Maximov get shook for the last 20-30 seconds when he saw that he got cut? he immidiately became a bit slower and laboured in his movements. Not that it really affected the end result.
