Maia's entries into his takedowns are awesome, but Usman just has that ability to make the subtle adjustments necessary to stay upright that you only get from wrestling for most of your life.

RDA has an overall MMA game that Maia doesn't come close to. Colby might win, but that's a very tough fight for sure.
