@ klown. i hope cerrone does not turn into gsp. cerrone is in my top four favorite fighters. he really needs to knock someone out. i bet they match him up with another striker in the lightweight division. how about edson barboza? i think that would be very entertaining.

Good start for Maia. His left is great. His right is not.

Where did that Demian Maia come from? Where was this guy when he fought Anderson Silva? I did not expect to see Maia stalking Munoz on the feet!!!!!

Edson would be too much for Cerrone, in my opinion. And Klown, what was the random wrong pick you had?

wow, im really liking maias stand up. munoz is shocked. way to go for the td at the last second to try to impress the judgges. im sure the only reason he went for the td is cuz maia probably wouldnt have time to work.

I spoke too soon. I gave round 2 to Munoz. The old Demian Maia came back in round 2.

Maia needs a new gameplan for this round. The doubles aren't working. If he wants a takedown, he needs to clinch.

A very close fight, but I see Munoz taking the decision.

Hmm, that was a close fight. I think Maia deserved the 3rd with more effective striking and the crucifix, but Munoz is the wrestler, and when in doubt, the judges give it to the wrestler.

It's almost worth the price of admission for bad judging, just so we can see @minotauro's reactions.

30-27 is a joke. Maia looked great in round 1.
