Review: 2014-05-31, fight not particularly good between Demian Maia and Alexander Yakovlev: it gets two stars. The black belt in Bjj Demian Maia entered this fight with a pro mma record of 18-6-0 (67% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.11 welterweight in the world but he comes off two consecutive defeats: the first one against Jake Shields at the end of 2013 (=Maia vs Shields) and then he lost to Rory MacDonald three months ago (=MacDonald vs Maia).
His opponent, Alexander Yakovlev, has a record of 21-4-1 (76% finishing rate) and he entered as the No.47 in the same weight class, he suffered his last defeat in 2012 when he faced Rashid Magomedov for the M-1 Global Ww title, after that bout he has fought and won three times; he makes his Ufc debut in this bout. Maia vs Yakovlev is on the undercard of Stipe Miocic vs Fabio Maldonado – UFC Tuf Brazil 3 Finale. Watch the video and rate this fight!
