Demian Maia considering ‘one or two’ more UFC bouts, open to Anderson Silva rematch

Former UFC middleweight and welterweight title challenger Demian Maia is not ready to call it quits just yet. A veteran of 32 fights in the Octagon, the Brazilian jiu-jitsu blackbelt ended up knocked out by Gilbert Burns in his last outing, but does not wish to close his career on a loss, at least for now.

In an interview with Combate, Maia shared his desire to finish his UFC career as the man with most wins in the Octagon, a record currently held by Donald Cerrone. Although he did have plans to retire in his next outing, Maia might fight two more times after all, because he wants to say goodbye to his fans in the Octagon.
