Huzzah, it's Demian Maia day in the Dream Matches forum.

He's about GSP's size, they're both very explosive, GSP has the strikes, Maia has the groundgame...who do you think wins it and why?

edit: while both fighters are exceptionally quick, I must point out that they're not as explosive as Dork, who beat me in voting in my own f'ing thread.

Maia, he is bigger an more dangerous.

GSP might have the striking edge in this fight but not enough where it matters, he doesn't have the size or the strength.

GSP at MW would be a gate keeper imo at best.

Maia takes his arm home for a present

I don't think strength would be too big of a factor in this fight. GSP has the better standup, cardio, Wrestling, and is more experienced. I see Maia gassing and GSP stopping him in the 3rd

id say maia by submission, GSP hasnt fought @ 185 so he'd probably gas with the extra weight he keeps on. id say maia easily.
