#12 Demian Maia (26-9) vs. Anthony Rocco Martin (16-4)
This fight is a little intriguing to be honest. Demian Maia is not getting any younger. Martin is in his athletic prime. Both of them are also world class black belts in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. The thing is, there’s a difference between a world class black belt and Demian Maia. What I’m trying to say is that Maia would smoke your average world class black belt on the ground. When it comes to jiu-jitsu, there’s good then there’s Demian Maia good. I’m going to take Maia by unanimous decision in this fight, only because I believe Maia is a lot better than Martin at what Martin’s best at, if that makes sense.
Prediction: Demian Maia via unanimous decision
