One of the best representatives of jiu-jitsu in the UFC has one of the biggest challenges ahead of him.
Following a streak of 5 victories in the organization, Maia has moved up a spot in ranking and is currently the 3rd ranked Welterweight in the UFC.
When we consider the fact that Rory MacDonald is basically a free agent Maia seems like the next in line for Welterweight title. Maia’s next challenger is none other than Carlos Condit who was among the men who defeated Rory MacDonald.
Maia is on quite a streak, having overcome two back to loses from Jake Shields and Rory MacDonald. Maia won via decision against Yakolev and LaFlare but submitted Magny, got decision against Gunnar Nelson and followed that up with that great submission against Matt Brown at UFC 198.
All in all Diaz vs McGregor 2 fightcard now features another exciting matchup!
