Besides the return of MMA legend Lyoto Machida, the eyes will be on the co-main event at Sao Paulo when Colby Covington takes on a humongous test in grappling wizard Demian Maia. It was just back at UFC 214 that Maia finally got his shot at a UFC welterweight title, only to be bested by champion Tyron Woodley. Covington feels that Maia is the only guy that stands in the way of him knocking on gold’s door as well. He not only thinks he can do it, but thinks he can put on a better performance against Maia that Woodley.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s a pretty easy fight to train for [against Demian Maia]. To be honest, I\u2019m training for\u00a0<\/span>Tyron Woodley.\u00a0<\/span>I\u2019m gonna’ finish Demian Maia. I\u2019m gonna dominate, dismantle Demian Maia. The different between me and Tyron Woodley is that Tyron Woodley fights nervous, he fights scared. He doesn\u2019t wanna get tired, so the thing with Tyron Woodley is the he doesn\u2019t know how to push the pace, he doesn\u2019t have cardio. He doesn\u2019t have heart. He has a heart, but he doesn\u2019t have heart. There\u2019s a difference.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
