| Solid match up, at this rate Maia will soon be in line for a title shot. |

| This is a really good fight. I think Maia wins it. I don't think Fitch would avoid grappling, it's Fitch..thats the way he fights. Even if he did, his takedown D is not nearly as good as his takedowns. Maia can get him in good spots.

| This is a solid match-up and may force Fitch to work on his stand-up defense more. Because Maia has learned how to throw and is just evil on the ground. I say Maia wins in the 2nd via submission. | |

I agree, I don't think Fitch avoids the grappling. He went to the ground with BJ, I think he will go to the ground with Maia. I'm not sure who to pick for this fight right now. | |

| it will be a terrible fight if it stays standing as neither of them are particularly good strikers. | |

| Maia's hands aren't terrible. He'll be taking it to the ground though. | |

he's still looks like what he is though, a BJJ practitioner whose striking is better than it was. he hasn't morphed into a badass banger. hopefully, fitch tries to wrestle and maia tries to submit him. strength v strength will make for a much better fight. | |

| Fitch isn't a bad striker either, he just choose to close and clinch to often after throwing. | |
