I'm not sure why anyone would stay away from Maia in this fight. He's only lost to elite level fighters...
Rory
Jake (split dec)
Weidman
Munoz
Anderson
Marquart
5 of those 6 were/are either champs or fought for the belt.
Jake could not get up when Maia took his down. You think Magny can?
get ready to watch a clinic!
Post #2: I don't see how Magny wins. Maia will press him against the cage and trip him to the ground. Maia has some of the best trip takedowns along the cage. He did it to Jake, Story, Fitch, Munoz, Chael, etc... yes Maia is older now but he is still good and he doesn't have a ton of wear and tear on him. Magny is out of his league in this 1.
Post #3:You're right about Magny's progression but he's not doing it against top guys. Maia has fought much stiffer comp.
Post #4: I tried to push Maia. Magny was way out of his league in this one. Maia's top game is ridiculously smooth.

Post#1: Magny wins because he's well rounded, good everywhere. Has a huge reach and cardio advantage, and he'll keep the less athletic Maia on end of his punches all night, excellent at using his reach and he'll have a 8 inch reach advantage, he's at the peak of his career, Maia is on the downslide of his. Magny will wear his ass out with his footwork and volume of punches. Maia's tough, so he'll make it the distance. I give Maia 35% chance at getting a single takedown in the first. And 10% in the 2nd or later, don't be surprised to see him slowing down in the 2nd round. Takedowns won't come as easy as your thinking, and I believe your underestimating Magnys improvements . I have it Magny -180, wrong guy is favored. If you want to lay juice on this fighT, just bet over 2.5 rounds instead of Maia, decision is his only path to victory anyway.Just one mans opinion, gl cap
Post #2: I personally believe Magny is now currently the stiffer comp you speak off. Just my opinion, I wish the best with maiA.
