LAS VEGAS – For most of his fight with Kendall Grove, Demian Maia relied on the skills that punched
his ticket to the UFC.

That is to say, when the two hit the mat, it was clear who was an Abu
Dhabi Combat Club Submission Wrestling  world champion and who wasn’t.

When the smoke cleared, the Brazilian earned a unanimous decision and
his second consecutive victory since a failed bid for Anderson Silva’s
middleweight belt.
