Nate Marquardt vs. Demian Maia UFC 102

The last time I saw someone go flying from a punch was in Halo lol.

pretty lame hes stepping in for Belfort. I dont think he stands a chance with Silva... damn now we gotta wait longer to see Silva fight a more well rounded fighter. I was so stoked bout Silva vs Belfort

Nate show to everyone what "warrior honour" means he he decided not to punch maia on the ground when Maia was K.O.

Marquardt will dominate the MW division some day soon. Even Anderson Silva said Marquardt will be the next MW to dominate the division when he's done. I would love to see a rematch between the two. Marquardt is one of the best MWs in the world. #3 behind Silva and Hendo imo.

Anybody saying Marquardt got lucky or compares this to Serra Vs GSP is an idiot. Period. Marquardt is a beast. Mark my words. He is the next MW champion after Silva Vs Belfort.

If Marquardt and Maia fight 10 times Marquardt wins 9 of them.

Wrestling = Marquardt
boxing = Marquardt
Muay Thai = Marquardt
BJJ = Maia

But Maia wont get that takedown and would get demolished on the feet. Franco, you don't know anything about MMA.

One punch KO.... freaking awesome, watch out for Marquardt.

Maia got KO..wow Marquardt really got some punching talent and power...hope Damian gets back after this loss. Hopefully his striking defense would be better. Bottomline his strongsuit is still BJJ.

As for Mr_X talking about belfort wouldnt stand a chance against silva or machida, maybe the 2 champions are more skilled than Vitor..but hell we like vitor's chances...the odds of him KO those guys are not impossible. This is MMA there is a 100 ways to win and a 100 ways to lose. Bottomline Mr_X you got some good analysis there but better be ready to swallow em if ur proven wrong. Much respect to you and the fighters that we are discussing about.

well im sorry but maia got knocked the fuck out. i myself was pulling for maia but Marquardt caught him with a straight right which was not luck but good timing. maia should have just pulled guard and fought off his back and probably had a better chance lol

your right dude ... its just great timing !!! ( there's no lucky punch)

"he has no stand up and pretty bad conditioning"?
why don't you ask ed herman about that! that's if you can wake him up at all!
One dimensional fighting is ok by me. Have you even watched travis lutter fight?
And please, give me a break. "nate would win the majority"?
HAHAHHA. He's good, but you are exagerating, man! Let's wait for the rematch and see.
Plus, lucky ppunches don't mean nothing. Same thing happened to GSP against Serra on their first fight. But look what happenned in the second. My prediction is "MAIA WILL BE BACK!"
To me, he is still undefeated.

wtf are you talking about with your lucky punch? ... theres no such thing dude ! .. its a punch with a great timing ... if your Maia is THAT good ... he just had to block it ... and he's not undefeated .. he's been k.o. with the first punch ( witch was not lucky)!
