Demian Maia Open To Welcoming Nick Diaz Back

[No More Sorrow]

Demian Maia recently earned another UFC welterweight “Wâ€￾ during UFC 153 opposite Rick Story Oct 13, 2012. Before that July 7’s UFC 148, Maia won via TKO opposite Dong Hyun Kim in the first round, when Kim had a muscle spasm. Demian Maia cordially welcomes a bout against Nick Diaz in the future during his Oct 18 interview Tatame.com

“Dude, I think Nick Diaz and Jon Fitch that opponents would surely have much name this division and I would climb fast. The others, I think they are marked with struggles, but these two guys are certainly very tough and they would have proved much I climb in the division.


I think the two have much jiu-jitsu. Both with Nick as with Fitch. Both are good with that, just that I feel more focused on the Fitch’s wrestling than with his jiu-jitsu, and Nick is a guy more with boxing than jiu-jitsu.â€￾

Diaz has some options for when he does return. There's Maia, Fitch, Koscheck, Penn II, Rory, and Kampmann. A fight with Kos would be hilarious because of the amount of shit those two would talk leading up to the fight.

Maia-Diaz could be pretty good for the JJ battle, especially now that Maia has worked out that he's not a boxer.

But I'd love to see Diaz-Kos as well, that fight has to happen at some point simply for all the trash talk.
