TUF Brazil 3 Finale: Demian Maia vs. Alexander Yakovlev full fight video highlights

SAO PAULO – It wasn’t the most thrilling of victories, but it was a dominant one for Demian Maia.

Maia (19-6 MMA, 13-6 UFC) controlled UFC newcomer Alexander Yakovlev (21-5-1, 0-1 UFC) on the ground, getting to full mount in each round on his way to an easy unanimous decision sweep – even though he never truly went after the submissions he’s best known for.

The win came in front of his home city fans in Sao Paulo, Brazil, not far from where he grew up.

Check out the highlights above from the fight, which aired on FOX Sports 1 from pay-per-view from Ibirapuera Gymnasium in Sao Paulo.
