Last night in Brazil at UFC Fight Night 62, welterweights Demian Maia and Ryan LaFlare met in the evenings main event.<\/p>\n

LaFlare went into the fight with an undefeated record, but ultimately Maia’s ground game proved to be too much. For the first four rounds Maia dominated LaFlare, then in the fifth and final round it appeared that Maia had gassed and was simply trying to survive the late rally from LaFlare. He did and went on to win the fight via unanimous decision.<\/p>\n

The MMA world took to Twitter to express some of their thoughts on the nights main event. It seems as though there was somewhat of a mixed reaction to the grappling heavy fight.<\/p>\n
