    Ufc 156: Jon fitch and demian maia fighter analysis
    I'd like to share an in depth cerebral analysis of these 2 combatants on the upcoming card. As I have stated, I have put a significant play down on Jon Fitch, and am watching line movement to likely put down even more.

    My analysis is as follows:


    When you look at thier body types, Maia appears to be a bit stockier and condenced, while Fitch seems a bit more spread out, rangier, kind of longer in a weird and difficult way to put my finger on. A little lengthier I reckon.

    +1 For Fitch


    Fitch has a 2 inch reach advantage over Demian Maia. I suspect he has larger hands and fingers as well.

    +1 For Fitch



    Fitch has a more wild and untamed beard, this would suggest that something on Fitch is producing more testosterone then Maia, and is likely to be larger.

    +1 For Fitch

    Upon searching for weigh in photos, I noted the following: Fitch can be seen in the photo wearing tight briefs while Maia wears loose fitting trunks. Why is this relevent? I propose to you that Maia wears loose fitting trunks to hide something, or more importantly, to distract people from the fact that he has LESS to hide then Jon Fitch.

    +1 For Fitch



    Unfortunately I could not find out what size shoes either of these men wear. If someone has any inside info this could be a key factor in this breakdown and may actually be more important then any of the factors listed above.



    Hog analysis: 4-0 in favor of JON FITCH.



    Conclusion: bet a substantial portion of your bankroll on Jon Fitch.

    So what are you saying... Maia has the girth, but Fitch has the length? Which of these does Wannabet prefer?

      Longer limbs also means that it is easier to catch 'em in an armbar.

      In the old days u could talk about producin', now it's all about replacin' son!


      Can't argue with the hog analysis though, that sold me on Fitch!

        Yeah essentially, but I'm also saying that Maia has a sort of stubbiness about him, which might be more of a negative then the girth is a positive.

        But I'm really confused as to which is better. I agree, we need an expert.

            Theoretically yes, the only question is how. Cursory google searching has revealed that her name is "Michelle" and she appears not be a true oriental, but rather one of the American ones. This certainly would make a difference.

              Also, take into consideration the width of Jon Fitch's nose, theres gotta be something to that.

                    Terrible fight to bet on in my opinion. All favorites on the main card should win easily except this fight. I guess Fitch by decision is the most obvious prediction...

                        Longer reach gives you a striking advantage.
                        But having a longer arm gives you a disadvantage to opponent's submissions.

                          Awesome, I have longer arms than Matt Serra so I've got advantage if I can keep it standing

                            Jon fitch is a better mma fighter period. In every facet except grappling. He cant hang with maia on the ground but he can when you consider punches. Underrated again because of his ko loss to hendricks. Hes rarely in danger of losing fights, except to rlite fighters.

                              it depends on whos the stronger fighter of the 2 im thinking fitch is damn strong but maia at 170 is also very strong too and fitch is going to fall into maia's strengths plenty of times throughout the fight.

                              Tough fight to call

                                  I knew his post would make u jump out of ur chair and be the first to respond. You seem to be the earlier favorite to always be first to respond to cok threads. Strange

                                      Fitch by decision was +100 on 5d earlier..

                                        Yeah bro, but you would have a disadvantage on the ground. How about that?

                                            shiit you're right. Maybe if I go to boxing and fight some pro's with shorter reach I'll be more successful as wont have to worry about the ground game. Think my reach is a couple inches longer than Andre Ward so I'll school him for sure
