Miranda competes in ADCC of course hes not going to give up a sub like nothing. hes a legit grappler. Grove isnt a legit grappler. Only thing he has going for him is his long legs thats it. Maia = ADCC champ. Grove hasnt even been invited to compete in adcc. So I give miranda credit for defending against a ELITE adcc champ. Grove isnt going to do shit against maia unless somehow maia gets caught into a triangle

With that in mind, if I'm the UFC, I'm trying to keep Maia relevent, for whenever Silva loses/retires/changes weight. At the same time, you don't want him picking off other top contenders such as Belfort, Sonnen, etc. So that leaves you with up-and-comers, or name fighters that aren't exactly in top contention right now.

Did that aleviate your head itch?
No. Maia already beat Sonnen, so if Sonnen can beat Silva in the rematch and Maia would fight someone other than a gatekeeper UFC could hype that fight since they love rematches so much lately.

Damian Maia- From a title fight to main eventing TUF finales.

All in a span of 8 months.

Silva fucked him up.

umm what? Congrats I nominate this post for ____ of the year. oh and the blank is not a positive attribute, it's just way for the reads to fill it in themselves

anywho, my thoughts are as always have been, the UFC for whatever reason, does not like Kendall Grove.
