Demian Maia

"I'd be lying if I said I was going to exchange with Anderson Silva." - Demian Maia on his last-minute title shot at Anderson Silva at UFC 112, stoking fears that the fight would be like Anderson's successful yet lackluster title defense against Thales Leites. Leites refused to engage, trying only to fall onto his back and pull guard, attempting to lure Anderson into a ground war where Leites, a jiu jitsu ace, had the advantage.
