One of the anticipated fights on the UFC 211 card in Dallas two weeks ago was the style matchup between Demian Maia and Jorge Masvidal. While he did eat some hard shots, Maia was able to impose his grappling game throughout the fight which earned him a split decision victory, and the promise of the next title shot from UFC president Dana White.
The two weeks that had lapsed are apparently not enough for Masvidal to digest his first defeat in almost a year. During Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour, “Gamebred” talked about the specific aspects of the fight made him take this loss more personally than ever.
