Demian Maia is really, really, really, really good at jiu-jitsu, you guys. He took Carlos Condit, a guy who’s no slouch on the ground, and submitted him in the first round of their main event at UFC on FOX 21.
And as Condit tapped to the rear-naked choke, UFC fighters took to Twitter to react to Professor Maia’s brilliance on the ground.
