Alright this is my 2nd Demian Maia thread in 2 days, which I guess makes me a peter puffer who likes Brazilians who wear pajamas and lie on top of other dudes for 25 minutes at a time.
But there is actually a pretty big dilemma for the UFC here. Maia wants to keep going, so who do they have him fight? He's already taken out a lot of 170 contenders and would probably still be the favorite to beat anyone in the division not named Woodley and possibly Wonderboy
They don't want him rematching Woodley, but if they give him other contenders, he probably just knocks them over, killing their momentum and may eventually force the UFC's hand again. If they let him walk to Bellator, it only increase that organization's legitimacy, especially seeing as they already have several top welterweights.
