Pretty crazy that Fitch could do nothing to stop the takedowns. I've always felt Fitch was pretty overrated, but for him to get totally outclassed at his own game was very impressive. Can anyone stop Maia's grappling at 170? People are counting him out against GSP already, may be the case. Closing the distance is very hard, and Maia gets his takedowns from the clinch mostly.
