Demian Maia: 'I don't have to act like a clown to get a title shot'

Demian Maia believes his current win streak and overall UFC career speaks for itself when it comes to the next title shot in the welterweight division, as he prepares to take on Matt Brown at UFC 198.

Even though welterweight contender Demian Maia said not too long ago he would talk and do anything he could to get a title shot, he went back on his words during the UFC 198 press conference. This time around, he told Combate his win streak should be enough reason for him to get his chance and that he would not act like a clown in order to achieve it, a statement that does sound like more the Demian Maia we all know.
