Getting out of that first triangle was nicely done. No matter how good Maia's BJJ is, Anderson Silva would mess him up quick. Manny definitely needs to look at heading to the WEC to fight at 145lbs. He's going nowhere at 155 in the UFC and if he could get a win or two at featherweight they could set him up against Uriah for a great fight. Oh yeah, Jon Fitch may be the toughest man in the UFC! I've never seen somebody take a beating like that and keep recovering and coming back. The most impressive defeat I've ever seen. Macdonald was very impressive even in defeat.
