UFC 156, which is now only days away, will feature a main-card showdown between welterweight contenders Jon Fitch and Demian Maia.
Both fighters are attempting to work their way back to a title shot, though this time in a different division for Maia. A win this Saturday night will go a long way toward furthering the ambitions of each, which makes the matchup one of the event’s most intriguing.
