I like him because he's cool as a cucumber but thick like sweet potato.

It's good for fighters to believe in themselves but Maia has a better bjj and mma pedigree. Plus he was good at 185 before he dropped to 170.

I would not be surprised the least best if Gunnar submits him in this fight. IMO, these two guys are the best mma grapplers in the world.

I can't wait to see this fight. Phone Post 3.0
