\"Maia\"<\/a><\/p>\n

UFC submission ace Demian Maia is on a mission. The welterweight currently has seven submission finishes in the UFC. The record? Eleven. Currently there are only three fighters ahead of Maia on the list.<\/p>\n

Nate Diaz (8)<\/p>\n

Frank Mir (8)<\/p>\n

Royce Gracie (11)<\/p>\n

Maia told MMAJunkie<\/a> that he’s looking to pursue that goal and be the all time submission finish record holder before he retires.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a good goal to chase. Now that\u2019s one of my goals.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI feel in my prime. It\u2019s something that\u2019s very strange. A lot of people this age start to slow down, but every fight I feel better. I\u2019ve never been so ready for a fight.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Maia’s most recent submission came over Neil Magny at UFC 190, when he forced Magny to tap with a rear-naked choke in the second round.<\/p>\n

Do you think Maia can overtake Gracie and earn the most submission wins in UFC history?<\/p>\n
