Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2015-03-21, disappointing fight between Demian Maia and Ryan LaFlare: it gets two stars.The black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu Demian Maia entered this fight with a professional mma record of 19-6-0 (63% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.10 welterweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Robbie Lawler). He suffered two consecutive defeats between 2013 and 2014, against Jake Shields (=Maia vs Shields) and Rory MacDonald (=MacDonald vs Maia), but then he came back to win beating Alexander Yakovlev (=Maia vs Yakovlev).
His opponent, the undefeated Ryan LaFlare, has a perfect record of 11-0-0 (64% finishing rate) and he entered as the No.20 in the same weight class. He fought just once last year beating John Howard (=Howard vs LaFlare). Maia vs LaFlare is the main event of UFC Fight Night 62. Watch the video and rate this fight!
