UFC 211 video highlights: Demian Maia def. Jorge Masvidal

At long last, Demian Maia is back in a UFC title fight.

Maia (25-6 MMA, 19-6 UFC), who once fought Anderson Silva for the middleweight title, now will fight welterweight champ Tyron Woodley for a UFC belt after a split-decision win over Jorge Masvidal (32-12 MMA, 9-5 UFC) in what wound up being a title eliminator.

Maia’s jiu-jitsu control was too much for Masvidal, even though the Brazilian wasn’t able to get the finish. Still, his seven straight wins at 170 pounds are enough to make him the next challenger for Woodley’s belt.

Check out the highlights from the fight above.

UFC 211 took place Saturday at American Airlines Center in Dallas. The main card aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and UFC Fight Pass.
