The main event of UFC on FOX 21 saw Demian Maia take on Carlos Condit in the welterweight division. Maia wasted no time in getting the match to the mat where he made quick work of Carlos Condit via Rear Naked Choke in the first round.
Check out Dallas Winston’s play-by-play of Demian Maia vs. Carlos Condit:
R1: Condit comes out switching stances, eventually settling for a left round kick from southpaw. Maia shoots a double leg and drives through to complete it. Condit goes to deep half guard but Maia denies the sweep and flattens Condit out. Maia, in a transition that perfectly embodies his grappling sorcery, somehow teleports to back control. In a flash, Maia has both hooks in, then a body triangle while fishing for the choke. Condit makes the fatal mistake of trying to break the body triangle by hand-fighting and Maia threads his arm under the chin to force the tap.
