Great fight. Great card. RT @ufc_brasil: Olha que lutão, @DemianMaia Vs. @jonfitchdotnet no UFC 156 dia 2/2/13 em Las Vegas. Mandalay
MMAJunkie has the details.
Maia currently boasts a two-fight win streak after downing Rick Story at this past month’s UFC 153 event in Rio de Janeiro and earning a bizarre TKO victory over Dong Hyun Kim at July’s UFC 148 fight card in Las Vegas. The two victories came after a disappointing 1-2 run that included losses to Chris Weidman and Mark Munoz.
Fitch also fought at UFC 153 and earned a hard-fought unanimous-decision win over Erick Silva in a bout that was deemed the evening’s “Fight of the Night.”
Fitch had previously lost in stunning knockout fashion to Johny Hendricks and settled for a draw against B.J. Penn. Prior to those setbacks, he was 13-1 in his first 14 UFC fights and was generally considered the world’s second-best fighter at 170 pounds.
