Are you kidding me?
It was a couple punches here and there between the countless efforts to try and survive Maia's sub-attempts. How many significant blows did he even land?

if anything that proves the point that if put against a higher level opponent than herman he would struggle even more. because herman was only throwing a few punches, but when he did they landed pretty hard.

By the sounds of all that, Herman should have destroyed him then. I mean, he was just pulling guard, was super duper gassed and didn't control Herman... where was the TKO?

herman was super gassed as well. neither of them looked in shape. if herman was in shape he would have finished the gassed maia

silva has better takedown defense and reversals than herman
