Maia Does Not Plan On Exchanging With Silva, But Will Be Ready
Demian Maia, arguably the top submission fighter in mixed martial arts today, recently spoke with Tatame about his upcoming UFC 112 fight with middleweight champ Anderson Silva.
“I’ll have time to prepare an strategy,” said Maia. “I’m coming from a heavy training and I’m in a fight rhythm. I’ll let my body rest this week and I’ll start the training next week.
If I say to you that I’m gonna exchange with him I’ll be lying. It’s the same thing if I say he’ll go to the ground with me. But I’ll go to this fight ready for everything. It’s a title fight and the title always was my dream. I imagined having this title shot a year ago, but I had two more fights and God, for one reason, gave it to me now.”
UFC 112: Invincible is scheduled for April 10 at the Ferrari World in Yas Island, Abu Dhabi.
