Demian Maia brought a worst-case scenario to life for Carlos Condit.
The 2007 Abu Dhabi Combat Club Submission Wrestling World Championships gold medalist on Saturday submitted Condit with a first-round rear-naked choke in the UFC on Fox 21 main event at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia. Maia tied the bow 1:52 into round one, becoming the first man to submit the “Natural Born Killer” since Pat Healy did the honors on June 3, 2006.
Once it spilled onto the canvas, Condit never stood a chance. Maia advanced to his back at the base of the cage, secured his position and snaked his arms into place.
