Demian Maia open to adding one fight to UFC deal to break Donald Cerrone’s record

A month after doubling down on his retirement plans, Demian Maia changed his tone.

Moments after Gilbert Burns ruined his winning streak with a first-round knockout in Brasilia, Brazil, on March 14, Maia said he planned to enter the cage for the final bout of his UFC deal against Diego Sanchez or Donald Cerrone.

The jiu-jitsu wizard is still interested in sharing the cage with one of those veterans for a welterweight clash, but is flirting with the idea of adding another bout to contract with the company.
