VANCOUVER
Demian Maia wants his first shot at the welterweight title and Carlos Condit wants another one.
The No. 3 and 4-ranked fighters in the world at 170 pounds battle tonight in the main event of Fight Night Vancouver for the eventual right to fight for the title that both men have relentlessly pursued for the past year.
Maia thought he locked up a title fight with a dominant win over Matt Brown in May. Condit almost beat Robbie Lawler in a Fight of the Year contender in January, but was edged out on the final judges’ scorecards.
