J Mac giving Maia fits? J Mac has 17 submission victories out of 21 wins as well as 3 submission of the night awards. He nearly got triangled just over a minute into the fight. The bell saved him from getting choked out to end the round. He was mounted for most of the 2nd round while recieving punches and elbows. Then he was submitted in the 3rd. Nathan comes from the same gym as J Mac and I doubt his ground skills are much better. If Almieda could submit Nathan I would think Maia would be able too also. Also if Maia can't sub Silva theirs not too many left in world that could. You could easily say Maia is the best bjj guy in UFC since Royce Gracie. And I think Maia is even better than Royce was just because the game has elevated since then. But it is a fight and anything can happen which makes it fun to watch.
