UFC 112 Silva Vs. Maia Apr.- 10 - 2010
My Prediction is Silva Wins by KO.
UFC 112 preview: Underdogs Maia, Edgar attempt to unseat dominant UFC champs
by Steven Marrocco on Apr 09, 2010 at 5:30 am ET
A day out from the biggest fight of their lives, Demian Maia and Frankie Edgar have the same odds to defeat two of the most dominant UFC champions in the promotion's history.
Maia (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) serves as the sixth challenger to middleweight champion Anderson Silva (25-4 MMA, 10-0 UFC), who's currently tied with Matt Hughes and Tito Ortiz for the most consecutive title defenses. Silva already holds the record for most consecutive UFC wins at 10.
Edgar (11-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC), meanwhile, is the fourth man to attempt a title coup from lightweight champion B.J. Penn (15-5-1 MMA, 11-4-1 UFC).
At +450 to the champion's -700, Maia and Edgar are approximately 4-to-1 underdogs in the UFC's first trip to the Middle East at UFC 112 this Saturday at Concert Arena at the Ferrari World theme park on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The night's main card airs live on pay-per-view (1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT) and on delay (10 p.m. ET).
Silva and Penn are so dominant, much of the attention they've drawn surrounds their decision to fight in other weight classes.
Maia, a decorated grappler and 2007 ADCC champion, was not the first choice for the 185-pound title berth and one many consider dubious for Silva's skill set.
But when Vitor Belfort injured his shoulder and sidestepped an apparent case of bad blood with Silva – the champion roundly criticized him as a challenger and said he didn't deserve the spot – and contender apparent Chael Sonnen had his forehead split open in a recent win over Nate Marquardt, concessions were made.
By the non-linear standards of UFC matchmaking, Maia is the best-available option. Although he came up violently short against Marquardt this past August at UFC 102 when the former contender sent him airborne with a right cross in 21 seconds, he submitted Sonnen six months prior to the late summer loss, and Sonnen defeated Marquardt at UFC 109 in February.
Get it?
From a pure stylistic standpoint, Maia is the easiest sell for the UFC. And the promotion isn't missing a beat; commercials for the event make little effort to conceal the fight is a classic striker vs. grappler match-up.
Maia has made the usual overtures about working on his stand-up game but admits he must get Silva to the ground to make the fight competitive.
Of course, Silva's -700 line says that – as one of the most technical and devastating strikers the sport has ever seen – he eats grapplers for breakfast. And for every opponent not named Ryo Chonan and Daiju Takase, that's been the case.
Can Maia get Silva to the ground? In his first five UFC appearances, he has been super-slick in closing distance and claiming takedowns. (Watch his fight with Nate Quarry at UFC 91.) Once he managed to get opponents to play his game, he dominated the action.
Will Silva let that happen? Probably not. The only two examples in which he has faced submission artists – Thales Leites at UFC 97 and Travis Lutter at UFC 67 – don't provide promise for Maia. Lutter took Silva down with apparent ease. But Silva had undergone knee surgery weeks prior and suffered complications prior to the fight – not exactly a recipe for good takedown defense. That leaves Leites, who could not take the champion down and resorted to back-flopping for 25 minutes of title non-action.
The fight's intrigue lies in Maia's uphill battle to tap Silva out.
Edgar well-adjusted to underdog role
Edgar's underdog status isn't a simple case of style vs. style. Most believe Penn is simply a better fighter all around.
Edgar turned heads with a dominating performance against Sean Sherk this past May at UFC 98. He kept the former champion off balance with a combination of fast hands, kicks and good footwork. UFC president Dana White was impressed enough to put him in line with Gray Maynard behind Kenny Florian and Diego Sanchez for the next title shot.
Penn dominated Florian and Sanchez, and when Maynard failed to impress against Nate Diaz, Edgar was tapped to face the champion.
Edgar is known as a boxer and wrestler, which has lead many to believe he will try to match Penn in the stand-up game and take the action down if things get too hot.
He won't, however, enjoy the reach advantage that he did against Sherk. Penn's jab is long and lightning fast, and he'll have to get around that to put his combinations together.
Edgar has the wrestling experience that Florian and Sanchez lack and may have what it takes to force a scramble to the mat. If he replicates Georges St-Pierre's gameplan in punishing Penn from guard and half-guard, he could grind out a decision.
Penn, however, has looked impervious to the takedowns standard to wrestlers. And Edgar admits nobody comes close to St-Pierre.
And as always, the challenger is not only battling Penn, but Penn's aura among fighters today.
"It's really forced me to bring out the best in my training and everything," Edgar said. "I feel like I've been improved a lot because I have to prepare for someone of B.J.'s stature. And just because he's so highly touted, it's really forcing me to focus and really come with my A game."
It's been hard to get an inkling of what Edgar will bring to the table Saturday night. He said his approach to wrestling and stand-up are different than those Penn has faced before. How is it different? We'll soon find out.
But compared to Penn's earlier challengers, Edgar seems to be less affronted by his underdog role. And maybe that's the key.
Hughes vs. Gracie rivalry dead; this one's just for fun
Former welterweight champion Matt Hughes (42-7 MMA, 15-5 UFC) fights a member of the revered Gracie clan for the second time in his career when he faces Renzo Gracie (13-6-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) in what might be considered a "special attraction" bout.
There are no title implications on the line. The 36-year-old Hughes appears to have hit a glass ceiling in the division with losses to St-Pierre and Thiago Alves, and he's openly considered retirement in the not-too-distant future. Gracie, at 43, is on the tail end of his career as a founding father of the sport.
There's no big rivalry on the line as when Hughes faced Royce Gracie at UFC 60 and dogged the three-time UFC champion over perceived arrogance. (He beat Royce to a pulp in one round.)
Renzo Gracie is representing the Gracie name, but he's not defending it in the same way. The fight is simply a great test of his skills.
And it's been a long time since Renzo has been tested. He hasn't fought since March 2007 when he faced Frank Shamrock at "EliteXC: Destiny." He dominated the ground action, but the fight ended with a question mark when Shamrock threw an illegal knee that gave his opponent a win by disqualification.
Gracie's teaching obligations have kept him from the full-time fight schedule of his early career. He said he's put his day job on hold to train for Hughes and is well-prepared for the fight.
But he's also said he may drop to 155 pounds after he fights Hughes, a sign his recent training regimen has revealed him to be a true lightweight.
Hughes has spent nearly a decade at the top of the welterweight divison and made his career dominating opponents with ground and pound. Recently, he has shown a desire to test his stand-up skills more often – though not always to his benefit – and he may do the same for Gracie.
Look for Gracie to take the action down and work from top position while Hughes attempts to punish him for takedown attempts and reverse for an assault of elbows.

Silva wins UFC 112
by Guest Sat Apr 10, 2010 8:24 pm
Silva Wins by Unanimous decision over Maia. It looked like Silva was extremely tired after the 3 round no offense what so ever. People were chanting GST ( George St. Pierre) I personally and many UFC fans what to see that one.
