I trained with Maia while he was in town fighting the GFC against Stout (which he won in the 1st round). He is an AMAZING Jiu Jitsu fighter as well as his stand-up abilities. He will no doubt be the underdog in this fight as it is his debut into the UFC. Demian Maia should crush Jensen.

I hope it's Televised Demian Maia is good. Really good. He won his lastfight by a TKO from a Sweep. He dislocated his opponents arm on a reversal. FUKN Sick. I cant wait to see this fight.

Is anyone else starting to think that the undercards are more interesting than the non-main event fights? I would have much rather watched Cummo than Machida on that last PPV. Machida is a much better fighter, but I don't really want to see a great fighter, I want to see a fight.[/quote] Well I dont think if anybody knows what the undercard is after th Vera/Slyvia fight. It could be Jorge and Alvin, it could be Stephan Bonnar, I have no clue. I hope it is Jorge and Stephan, but who knows at this point. [quote comment=”161056″]Good matchup.

Thales didn't even break a sweat. Since that fight, I have heard a lot of people saying that Jensen looked great. I personally thought that he didn't. I thought he looked very sloppy standing up. He obviously didn't do too good on the ground seeing that he got submitted once the fight was taken there. Rogan said that his high kicks looked 'phenominal' or some other gay word from the 'Rogan Book of Adjectives'. I thought his high kicks looked goofy and sloppy rolled into one. Looking at his record, there are only 2 names that I recognize, prior to him fighting in the UFC. Brock Larson and Marlon Sims. LOL, Marlon Sims. You all remember him from last season of TUF. It's too bad Marlon didn't fight Ryan in a street fight. But, since the fight took place in a cage, Marlon was submitted in about 2 minutes. Then there's Brock Larson, who suffered his first defeat at the hands of Jon Fitch, and that fight took place in the UFC about 2 years ago. Also, recently, Carlos Condit submitted Larson to defend his WEC WW belt. But, when Jensen and Larson locked horns, Jensen was man handled and lost by submission due to strikes in a minute and half of the first round.
