Really? Posts like this should be removed... Seriously..
Condit has below average take down defense, Maia has top level take downs period.. DM has maybe the best singles and doubles in the business. Maia takes down wrestling based fighters which Condit is not..
He's had no problem taking down wrestlers like LaFlare, Finch, and Story in his wins, took down Rory McDonald to with no problems all of which have MUCH better take down defense then Carlos Condit.. These are the facts and they are undisputed...http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Demian-Maia-14637
Condit is a tall striking based fighter just like Magny and Maia will have NO PROBLEM taking him down at will.. Condit has an active guard off his back and strikes with elbows so Maia I'm sure will get touched up but that's about it..
I'd even venture to say Matt Brown has better take down defense then Carlos Condit and we all saw how Maia grapple focked him all fight long..
Rory Mac with solid wrestling got grounded by Maia..
