I love to talk to Demian Maia.

Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira

Demian Maia is a one-trick pony.

Colby Covington

Demian Maia, I love the way he fights.

Royce Gracie

Demian Maia, he's a tough, scary guy.

Stephen Thompson

That's why I like Demian Maia and Fabricio Werdum. Demian will take you down and do his game. Werdum learned the stand-up to know what's coming, but he never stopped using his jiu-jitsu. He will clinch, take you down and submit you.

Royce Gracie

I believe, if I beat Demian Maia, it's going to be very hard for the other top guys to go around me.

Kamaru Usman

I really liked the transition Demian Maia made from 185 pounds to 170. I plan on doing the same thing as a featherweight.

Diego Sanchez

Right now, there are some big names out there for me. The likes of Demian Maia, Rafael dos Anjos, Robbie Lawler, and Wonderboy.

Darren Till

Tyron Woodley can't top me, and Demian Maia has no chance to stop me.

Colby Covington

Sage Northcutt

My jiu-jitsu style is not a beautiful style. I have very simple submissions. It works, but it's not like Demian Maia or Nick Diaz's very exciting style.

Glover Teixeira

I've never asked for more money, not one time in my career. I fought Demian Maia for $30,000. The No. 2 guy in the world, I was fighting for $30,000. So I don't care about money.

Colby Covington

I got to experience fighting some really good guys, like Demian Maia and Tyron Woodley who are top guys in the division. It was on a big stage, those fights. It gives me experience with top-level guys.

Rory MacDonald

Demian Maia, he's a legend. He's a veteran in the game. He knows how to fight. He's been through so many five-round fights. He's headlined a lot of cards, fought Anderson Silva for the title, fought Tyron Woodley for the title. He's a veteran, he knows how to fight, and he's always training. He's a jiu-jitsu wizard.

Kamaru Usman
