Big fan of Kendall since the show. Very talented but doesn't show his true potential I believe. Maia is climbing his way back up but in order to keep his status as one of the best BJJ artists he has to start submitting guy's again. It has been almost 2 years since he has gotten a submission win.

If he can't finish these fights it's going to be a long time before he gets another crack at the title. I'm not saying he should have to finish fights to fight for it again but you know Dana won't give it to him again unless he starts winning the way he should and convince the UFC he can make an exciting Championship fight.
