Default Demian Maia vs Thales Leites

These two middleweights have been very VERY impressive in their MMA careers and have performed dominantly within the UFC middleweight division and could arguably be in line for a title shot against Anderson in the near future, considering that Hendo is fighting Franklin at 205? in January and Okami/Lister doesn't feel to me like the type of fight that could dictate a true contender and Bisping and Marquardt are also in the mix, but these two Brazilians have been on utter tears lately!

After Cote, I think either of these opponents would provide a solid ground opposition to Silva and a match up between these two could decide the winner and even if it wasn't a #1 Contenders match, I think it would be an impressive and entertaining war.

Who ya got?

I'd have to go with Leites. It would have to be Maia trying to come up with something on how to take him down. As long as he keeps it standing, Leites will walk away with a decision victory.

Haven't seen anyone keep Maia on the feet, and even if Leites does stuff Maia's takedowns he still isn't all that much better than him striking. Maia is on a different level on the ground and that is where the fight would end up.

I can't remember ever seeing Leites stuff a takedown, or Maia not be able to work his opponent to the ground when wanted.

I'll take Maia even though I think both are overrated.
