Maia Believes he Would put on a Show Against Silva
“I see myself ready to fight for the belt. I would go at Anderson and it would give him the chance of knocking me out or give me the opportunity to finish the fight. That’s what I expect. I’m not saying I will win, but I will fight to end the fight before the judges decision. I want to do an aggressive fight and expose myself more. The UFC were waiting on the result of Anderson-Thales match to see what to do with me. They told me they were planning to give me the chance in August but because of their performance the UFC decided not put Silva in a main event very soon. Then they matched me and Nate Marquardt to find out the next challenger for the belt.”
I say if he defeats Marquardt give him the shot! He seems confident enough that he would be able to put on a show against Silva so why not let the fans see it. Of course right now we have a nice line being created of fighters that might be getting the shot. It has been said the winner of Bisbing/Henderson will get a shot. Obviously Maia must have been told he is fighting in a number one contendership match and then with the mention of a Vitor Belfort return by Dana White the middleweight division is going to be stacked with fighters all wanting the champion.
