Ops is right. The first round was great back and forth action. But Maia was losing gas quickly in the 2nd, constantly just trying to pull guard. Whereas he controlled Ed's posturing in the first, Ed was really starting to punish him from top in the second as Demian gassed big time. Ed should have brought the fight back standing a bunch of times in the second. But he played right into Maia's specialty and got caught in the triangle.
I like Demian and have never been a fan of Herman's. But Maia really better brush up his conditioning big time.
No way is he ready for a title shot.
