| http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2013/2/13/3983046/ufc-demian-maia-manager-eyes-strikeforce-tarec-saffiedine-next-fightTuesday on UFC Tonight, Ariel Helwani said Maia knows who he wants to fight next: - Quote :
- Demian Maia had an amazing performance a couple weeks back. He's looking very good at 170 and he's been talking about Tarec Saffiedine. I spoke to his manager and he said that's the fight that interests them the most. The last Strikeforce welterweight champion is coming over to the UFC and he now has a big bull's-eye on his back. The UFC has not said what's next for him, and he hasn't said what's next for him, but Demian Maia thinks because all these big welterweights are booked on the UFC 158 card, that Tarec Saffiedine would make the most sense for him.

| Makes sense, if Hendricks loses then this winner should get the next shot. If Hendricks wins then they can be next in line. | |

| Saffiedine is good at defending takedown and would eat Maia alive on the feet. I can see Sponge winning that.
Yeah, Maia took down Fitch at will but Fitch has never really defended the takedown well. | |
