Tyron Woodley has been saying for weeks he doesn’t believe Maia will able to take him down and training partner Ben Askren back him up. But one way or another Maia sure did try – in fact that’s all he did in the grueling 5 round fight. Here’s how others reacted to it:
Woodley is no sir'ing Maia on these takedowns. #UFC214

Woodley sucks. GSP will dominate him.

Woodley reminds me of Holly Holm in that neither definitively win rounds one after the other. #UFC214

Woodley has to be the worst champion in #UFC bring back @jakeshieldsajj to handle this guy #UFC214

3-2 Woodley, did the bare minimum but holds onto belt. Fair play Maia never stopped coming forward and never stopped trying to bring it.

Maia’s eye took the brunt of it

Maia: I think it would have increased the probability of winning if I had a longer training camp. #UFC214

Sloth Jiu-Jitsu: you can be slow and unathletic and still kick butt in Jiu-Jitsu.
