Default Rick Story Announces Fight Against Demain Maia at UFC 153

Rick Story Announces Fight Against Demain Maia at UFC 153 | MMAWeekly.com



Quote:
Add another Brazilian to the upcoming UFC 153 card headed to Rio de Janeiro as Demian Maia takes his second fight at welterweight against Rick Story.

Story announced the fight via Twitter on Tuesday.

“I’m fighting Demain Maia in Rio!” Story proclaimed on his page.

Story will look to build upon his last win where he defeated UFC newcomer Brock Jardine at UFC on FX 4. Prior to that fight, Story had dropped two fights in a row, and now looks to gain some standing back in the welterweight division.

Meanwhile former UFC middleweight contender Demian Maia looks to continue his venture into the 170lb division after a successful debut over Dong Hyun Kim at 148.

Maia vs. Story is the latest bout added to the growing UFC 153 fight card.

Maia's BJJ is going to be in full-bloom with this matchup IMO. If Story looks to engage in the clinch and press Maia against the cage, he's going to be at great risk for legtrips and takedowns, where he'll fall into Demian's world. Both of their standup should nullify each other to a good degree, so I think Maia's exemplary groundgame is going to be the deciding factor.

It will be nice to see what Maia looks like at 170. Sure couldn't tell from his original debut at 170.

For sure we didn't get a good enough measuring stick as to where he is at WW and how he is to fair out. But I can tell you Stun Gun was IMO lucky he had a muscle spasm because he was on the ground with Maia about to be on top which = a short night!
