Ed Herman is a great wrestler, and his striking is technically sound enough to almost cover up his lack of true power. He could probably pick Maia apart standing, but I just don’t see either of these guys letting the fight stay on the feet. Demian’s jits is fucking crazy. I’ve seen his fights, and his ADCC tapes are a clinic. But more so, his instructional DVDs are the real testament. He’s got it all, old-school jits, rubber guard, and is extremely fluid and aggressive with his submission attempts. No way Short Fuse takes him lightly here, but I still see him underestimating him. I highly doubt Herman’s rolled with anyone of Maia’s caliber, as there are maybe 5 people in the world as technically sound. I can’t wait to DVR this fight, as I predict a clinic.

[quote comment="271751"]Most of you UFC fans don’t follow BJJ, but let me tell you… Demian is one of the best BJJ guys on the planet. The guy choked out Gonzaga and holds a win over Jacare.

Herman goes for takedowns in almost everyone of his fights and almost gets subbed in every fight. Demian is going to school his ass on the ground and I wouldn’t be suprised if he puts Herman on his back[/quote]

ed herman will knock him out[/quote]

when Herman beats Demian…he’ll be recognized as a legitimate contender…love him or hate him…he brings game…can’t wait to see these two go at it

Shortfuse has improved dramatically as an all round fighter….He is stronger than people realize and has the heart of Lion…this kid is mentally tough…no doubt of self…a key ingrediant to the successful fighter which can easily be perceived as arrogance…should be a great fight…Ed will win this fight…bank on it…will be a good show

[...] It was initially reported that Herman-Maia would take place at UFC 83 in London but that event has since been scrapped. So, I caught up with the Team Quest member to talk about when and where the fight will go down, his recent wining streak, the fall of Kendall Grove and so much more. [...]

[quote comment="271594"][quote comment="271540"]maia could seriously beat anderson silva.. but herman is very athletic and a good wrestler so maia will probably be on his back..[/quote]
Its hard to do submissions on someone when your getting hit in the face even worse when its off the best striker in the bis[/quote]
come on, everybody seems to be able to get anderson on his back that’s why I think damian maia might beat him.
Herman on the other side is a good wrestler.
