UFC on FOX's Demian Maia on Fighting Weidman Instead Of Bisping, Chael Beating Anderson

[AlcoholicSemenStain]

Damn I don't like Maia trying to play K1 hero.. He needs to go back to using BJJ master skills. He puts on long boring fight now.

[DC180]

What a crappy fight and performance by BOTH fighters!

[NightRyder101]

@DC180 Wiedman is excused he took the match 10 days notice.

[knicksown427]

@NightRyder101 Maia was reportedly sick coming in as well, but who knows.

[RealLifeOmen]

Maia sucks now, he threw his BJJ out the window but can't strike.

[zer08927]

looks like the elements got to Maia. Hope he does good in his fight. Even Jones beat Shogun when he was sick so anything can happen.

[tylerdugray]

Demian Maia FTW

[mdvvi]

He sounds ill. I hope he can have a strong performance anyway.

[sonnenfan84]

chael sonnen is the best!

[NightRyder101]

@sonnenfan84 HAHAHA

[MAXPAYNE4664]

Hope Maia pulls off the victory. He's a cool dude.

[scv2222]

Good, fun interview again Karyn.

[AlcoholicSemenStain]

They should just scrap that fight and throw another match up in there. Hes snotting sick how the hell can he breath properly while someone is trying to punch you in the face?

[pizzizle]

Nice guy Demian Maia



[donnyv78]

Maia is one of favourite fighters. If Chael gets by Bisping and Anderson, there's no way Chael would beat Maia.

[blaoDOTcom]

@blaoDOTcom *beat maia

[TheJoemirza]

Maia is such a cool guy

[IkilledGatti]

he better wrap that cold up

[reduvio]

I changed my bets against Maia based off this interview.

He will gas due to illness. maybe pulls off crazy sub victory.

[arana001]

@reduvio nice one psychic.

[muchohumpty]

its this going to be a frequent style of interview , Skype webcaming? Its good for 1 on 1, you dont have to travel down to the gyms for 1 on1s

does this mean you wont be in chicago for the interviews

[leonc08]

Maia by gogoplata

[sleath89]

what a nice guy wish him luck.

[justthebestgolfer]

@sleath89 Yea I was hoping that he would upset Bisping,but now hes facing Wineman.Hes an up&comer & I think he will beat Maia.But I will be rooting4Maia cause he seems like a nice guy.Wineman is also a good guy,but hes young&can always comeback from a loss.

[KevinKillaKam]

I agree his English is good and also Coffee Crisp rocks!

[DMTwannaB]

Maia has a funny voice. Not as funny as Andos though

[codyjames01111]

@DMTwannaB You would have a funny voice too, if you were speaking Portuguese.

[DMTwannaB]

@codyjames01111 idk what to answer

[HaZeSnip3r]

Maia has pretty good english..props to him

[beargrylls3]

FUCK YEAH!!! DAMIAN IS GOING TO KICK SOME ASSSSSSSSS!!!!

[TreyMMA]

Damn...How can you not be a fan of Maia? This guy is the epitome of class.

[rick187053]

@TreyMMA How can you not be a fan of Weidman? H

ofstra baby!

[HaZeSnip3r]

@TreyMMA not a fan of maia because i watched the anderson silva fight simple

[justthebestgolfer]

@HaZeSnip3r I think Maias Standup has improved so much after the Silva fight. If U watched the fight with Maia vs Munoz. He was actually DESTROYING Munoz in the standup.He got some power in his striking&actually hurt Munoz in the standup.After that fight he impressed me&showed how well rounded hes becoming.Hes gotten alot better&also his TDs have improved alot:)

[eagarzilla]

I hope the cold that Maia has doesn't have too much of a bad effect on him.

[ciokoye]

Ah he's sick :/

That sucks

[burgerkingsucks1]

why is everyone counting maia out? wtf? who the fuck has weidman beat?

[OnRockIT]

@burgerkingsucks1 Have you seen Weidman fight? Maia is good and he can win, but Weidman is legit.

[HBKCommish]

@burgerkingsucks1 Exactly. It's the UFC hype train again at it's best. It even managed to fool the odds makers this time too, because Weidman is considered a 2-1 favourite. Weidman is a good middleweight prospect, but this is a HUGE step up in competition for him. Maia's BJJ is on a different level than most guys in MMA and his standup has come a long way and I say Maia submits him 2nd or 3rd round.

[Tommy9834]

@burgerkingsucks1 I think people are counting him out cause they think he's sick.

[linnywinnie5]

oo karyn i love u

[Timillionaire]

Props to Maia for his English. It wasn't too long ago when everything he said had to go through a translator.

[johnj189]

@Timillionaire I was thinking the same thing... pretty impressive.

[cujo905]

Huge test for Weidman. If he can win that would huge. Damn Maia sounds pretty sick. Hopefully it wont effect his performance

[WizardWorm]

haha :10 Bank Bou Barry !!

[sandramaria451]

chevere

[GiovannaCONTRATODOS]

SAÚDE

[xxhumblepiexx]

awesome submission specialist and his striking has been improving with every fight. hellova nice guy too it seems.

[NY1love]

Damn, Maia. You sound like me with my allergies.

[NY1love]

Maia is one of the best submissionist. But . . . besides the point. Great interview and love ya Karyn.

[XxOjOjXx]

WAR WEIDMAN!

[sd48]

good interview and love the production value.

[lickmyfart]

They should've had Renato Laranja step in to face Maia. It would've been an epic battle of Black Belt vs Black Belt.

[TheVJProduction]

maia is really underrated imo

[iamjason]

Maia is a great guy, hope the cold isn't gonna affect his performance.

[astronautonomicron]

wideman is wide

[tememongo]

Maia has a cold, shit.. Weidman still getting choked out

[mma10101]

Maia is soo underatted in my opinion he beat munoz hes beaten chael aswell so if chael beats AS maia should fight him

[jonremache]

@mma10101 Good point and then maybe he could face Bisping or AS in a rematch. But I doubt anyone would want to watch that fight.

[eLLriDe420]

matt is going to be a champion someday maia will not stop him. matt by ko

[liophy]

@eLLriDe420 Who is matt?

[MattUK9107]

Gotta like Demian hes a really nice guy and is a very skilled fighter

[Redping2020]

apparently weidman is going to take maia down. Wrong game plan

[allroundp4p]

damn Damian Maia seems to have a cold... sad to see

[1fightmagnet]

That's cruel Karyn asking a fighter about food when their going through a weight cut. LoL. ;)

[cremaster0]

at 1:54 we finks a lot of fings...

[mrsorg87]

@cremaster0 here in brazil we don't have the "th" sound, the closest is the "f", so we learn it like this at first, than we improve... still laughed though

[cremaster0]

@mrsorg87 I wasn't trying to be disrespectful as I happen to be a big Maia fan. I wonder if that cold affected him at all during the fight. He looked really lethargic.... either way, the guy is pure class...

[Antix]

im from Long Island and a wiedman supporter, but hes got his hands full with maia.

[steeler43013]

maia is a beast

[Thiagosilva2487]

When was this interview? hope maia isnt 2 sick come fight time

[DariushUFC1985]

he is sick! wtf he shouldn't be fighting :(

[Thiagosilva2487]

Maia gonna get his first KO via ground n pound weidman is a beast... but i think maia is on another level personally.

[silencer5391]

I hope Maia gets to full health and isn't sick for the fight..Maia is one of my favorite fighters and I'll be routing for him.

[DariushUFC1985]

lets go demian!!!

[xkillaz18x]

Comon Maia. His last fight against Munoz was great, lately his improvements been leaps an bounds. Hopefully he pulls off a submission!!!

[gotbletu]

Maia lose by Swine flu

[wilffles]

coffee crisp bars arent that good haha :P

[elheadkickio]

Shit, I hope Demian isn't too sick, I'd like to see him win.

[Cyberplex]

Is he sick?

[Revolution1]

Thanks for the great interview! Maia is both a great guy and fighter. When Chael wins the title, hopefully they can rematch for it :)

[d314j4]

i kind a find it weird when people say how great joe silva is... compared to what these guys do, his job of matching fights is pretty fuckin easy...

[MiloBoz]

Smart idea to do these skype interviews Karyn : ) This way you can cover events your not @. Keep up the good work.

[DJPA101ALLDAY]

get maia some green chile! dude is ill. wiedman is tougher than bisping but maia should win. im sayin 2nd round armbar.

[TheMDizzle87]

Karyn is the only women who shouldnt stay in the kitchen.....

[turtlesarecool99]

How can you not love Maia.

[Atmosphereification]

@turtlesarecool99 He's great! 

[Atmosphereification]

Hope he does not have a cold

[p8chill]

i like how he wants chael to beat anderson first so then he might actually have a shot at the title

[RealLifeOmen]

How come you don't talk about how Maia already strangled Sonnen in round 1, but instead of Sonnen wanting to avenge that loss, Maia gets pushed back and they bump the white boy?

[shonuffLA]

@RealLifeOmen because nobody wants to see maia (this is a business) and who cares if hes white

[ResidencyMMA]

Maia looks rather ill here... might be just sleepy. Jet lag and all that crap, but yeah he doesn't look so good.

[Atmosphereification]

@ResidencyMMA Seems like he has a cold. Hope not.

[MiloBoz]

@Atmosphereification Def a bad cold *Runs to put money on Weidman*

[urmomsface1992]

Eat some junkie food :D

[MexicanMetlAC]

I'll be cheering for Maia. Hopefully he isn't too sick and will be fine come fight night.

[TheCosaBazy]

Wow what a nice guy Maia is, I'm starting to like him.

[jib28444]

7:45-7:54 "but after the fight I go eat some junky food hehe" - LMAO

[zangarbrandon]

Maia looks ill

[rigapov5000]

is curious when Americans make fun when someone commits confusion in English

being that most Americans do not speak another language, only limited to the English, and not even speak their own native language as well

Here in Brazil we have trouble speaking English, but most can speak Spanish, Italian and French

and that's enough!



[WhiteFangOfTheLeaf]

@rigapov5000

Have you even been to USA? Here we speak almost all the languages. When i'm at a store i hear people speaking English Spanish Japanese German Filipino Chinese Vietnamese and more.

[rigapov5000]

@WhiteFangOfTheLeaf lol immigrants u mean, right?!

[WhiteFangOfTheLeaf]

@rigapov5000

Well that's what America is a Home place for Immigrants.

[shonuffLA]

@rigapov5000 i would work on speaking english nobody is interested in those languages outside of there native country. English is a universal language, the fact there are 300 million amercians and we generally have the best oppritunites there is no need to speak another language unless you want to move to another country for some reason but having travelled a lot im staying in america.

[chuey1988]

@shonuffLA Where have you travelled to?

[shonuffLA]

@chuey1988 north ameica,caribbean, backpacked through europe, spent time in tokyo and south korea been to brazil twice and india. If i did move anywhere after i have some savings and the right girl id move to the virgin islands that was my favorite place plus the whole us laws and keeping my citizenship.

[legend2kill]

he looks like he's constantly thinking of beatin off

[browndani166]

Maia sounds like he has a cold with all the sniffling

[NightHawk0730]

Demian Maia is the man

[jib28444]

Sucks Maia gonna have to face Wiedman, hes a monster. I'm rooting for Maia but he's got a real fight on his hands.

[stephenlandrum]

@jib28444 I want Wiedman to win but I actually think Maia will win

[stanburdman]

@jib28444 I'm rooting for Weidman, he has potential to be the next big thing.

[Coletto1985]

ummm Demian looks pretty sick ... and hes gonna be cutting weight over the next few days , not a good combination , hope he gets better before fight night !

[anythingthatgoes]

weidmans too good a wrestler for maia

[TheSupersabby]

@anythingthatgoes really cause people said the same thing bout sonnen

[jimmy92635]

[Stoogemeister420]

[rpalcantara10]

[zangarbrandon]

[fermyr]

[Santana105]

[kingjames1101]
