I think Fitch gave the formula for success as Maia pretty much out-Fitched Fitch.
WTF BJ woulda tried to get the KO.
you deff Fitched the old Fitch.
Maia isn’t BJ. Two totally different fighters. I agree though, he “Fitched” Fitch.
It would be cool to see Bj go back to his bjj roots and fight similar to demian maia(immediately take guys down and tie them up) except use more ground and pound maybe
I was very surprised and pleased with Maia’s wresting and grappling. To control Fitch all 3 rounds is very impressive. WW is truly his division. But you can’t take anything away from Fitch either. He showed flaws in his game. But no one can question is submission defense. As dominant as Maia was, he couldn’t submit Fitch.
