I 'm getting excited for this weekend fight mainly because Demian Maia is on the card. He is my favorite fighter to watch and root for. I watch his fights with the same passion I do for Steelers games. When I first read about him a year ago all I had to do was look at his bio to see he was the real deal. Then I saw he had a undefeated record and after watching him fight I was still amazed. And he keeps getting better pulling out new tricks every fight. Its also fun seeing Wandy in his corner, I can't think of a better teamate to have in your corner. If he wins he deserves a shot against Anderson Silva.

I'm a big Maia fan as well, and have loved the shows hes put on in the UFC, and the awesome fighting spirit he exudes. I've always thought it would be a BJJ guy who could be Anderson, but I'm just not sure Maia is the guy. For one, if J-Mac was giving him fits on the ground, I'm sure Anderson will be able to hold his own, if the fight even gets to the ground.

Personally I'm thinking Nate is gonna be too much for Maia, and I find it hard rooting against either. I think both guys are amazing fighters, but I don't think either is beating Silva.
