    The fight sells itself... MMA's best striker vs. MMA's best grappler... here's to hoping it isn't Silva vs. Leites 2.

    Yeah, it'll be Leites vs Silva all over again.

    If Maia tries standing with Silva, he'll get dropped by the end of the 1st.

    Maia looks like Frankenstein in that picture.

    Fuckin' Hendo could have had his 2nd shot. Oh well.

    Maia is not like leites, he's aggressive and successful at getting takedowns vs good grapplers. It'll be a different fight IMO.
    One he'll lose, but a different fight.

    Should be a decent match, but no one is beating Silva right now. It looks like I'm going to be interviewing Maia in the next few days, so if anyone has any questions you'd like to be asked of him, let me know.

    Is there any sort of intimidation factor with Anderson Silva? What is it like knowing you're going to be fighting arguably the best p4p mma fighter and the best striker?
