Video: Watch Demian Maia's bonus-clinching win over Jason MacDonald from 2008

Here’s something you may not know about UFC Fight Night 29 headliner Demian Maia: In his first five UFC fights, the Brazilian picked up a remarkable four “Submission of the Night” bonuses.

In addition to $215,000 in extra income, Maia put the UFC’s middleweight division on notice and soon found himself in marquee bouts against some of the division’s top-ranked fighters.

Although Maia (18-4 MMA, 12-4 UFC) eventually dropped to welterweight, where he looks for his fourth consecutive win when he meets Jake Shields (28-6-1 MMA, 3-2 UFC) on Oct. 9 in Barueri, Sao Paulo, Brazil, his early work at middleweight remains a key part of his highlight reel. Take, for instance, his UFC 87 bout with the always-tough MacDonald.

Watch the full fight, which marked Maia’s third bout in the UFC, with the above video.
