Prediction: wrong Fitch   wrong Decision  

Maia will finally hit the proverbial wall in this fight and this will be his 1st loss at WW in the UFC. Fitch reaffirmed his status in the WW division with his one sided dominate beat down of Silva in Brazil . I think Fitch will take down and beat up Maia for 3 rounds in this fight and set himself up for top 5 opponents fights in 2013.

Even those picking Fitch sound like they want him to lose.  This is a tough house.  

It's hard to admit, but Jon Fitch might be the most unpopular fighter ever to fight well in the UFC.  Such a shame.  For the house.

Maia has been looking great at welterweight, but Fitch has the best submission defense in the game. I think Fitch will grind out another victory.

Gonna be a ground WAR. Maia will put lots of pressure on Fitch but Fitch will remain unsubmittable and ride a decision out

I agree it will probably turn out to be a ground fight, but I'd laugh if it turned out to be a standup battle.

What if they both respect each other's ground skills so much that they both opt to stand and bang?  Wouldn't that be a trip?

I can see that happening. I think I'd be pretty frustrated if it did, im really looking forward to a good grappling match.. But if we do get a kickboxing match I think Fitch will outstrike Maia maybe even impressively

Except for a wacky scramble that puts Maia in perfect position to lock on a devastating choke that even Fitch can't escape from, I just don't see how Maia comes close to winning this fight. Perhaps I'll be wrong but I think it's gonna be one-sided.

I'm not one to complain about grappling and ground fighting but that was a fricken snoozefest. Even if Maia would have gone for a different sub even once I would have been happy. Try to mount Fitch try something for **** sake.

Snoozefest? That was pure mastery of BJJ. How could you not appreciate that? Great Judo and wrestling too by Maia.

Yea Maia, switch to a DIFFERENT dominant position.  It's not enough to hold back mount (the 2nd most dominant position) on the captain of the Perdue wrestling team for 3 rounds. 


Why won't Maia bang bro?

Putting a guy in a body triangle and going for a choke over and over and not coming close to getting it even once. Oh yeah masterful. Maia took down Fitch and won the fight no doubt. But people give Fitch a hard time for taking guys down and winning without doing much damage.....this fight takes the cake when it comes to winning with doing literally 0 damage.

@benjamin if Fitch won the fight the way Maia did you would be whining and *****ing just like most other people. But since Maia did it it's ok. Hypocrite.

Other than switching to a less dominant position and try for an armbar, what finish would you like him to attempt from back mount? 


Wet willies?

How about a punch? Rumor is they're legal too in a mma fight.
