Demian Maia Talks Fight Strategy Against Anderson Silva

From Tatame:

"I’ll have time to prepare an strategy. I’m coming from a heavy training and I’m in a fight rhythm. I’ll let my body rest this week and I’ll start the training next week".

"...I’ll go train boxing with Luis Carlos Dorea (Nogueira brothers Boxing coach) for sure. My physical preparation wlll be with (Rafael) Alejarra."

"If I say to you that I’m gonna exchange with him I’ll be lying. It’s the same thing if I say he’ll go to the ground with me. But I’ll go to this fight ready for everything. It’s a title fight and the title always was my dream. I imagined having this title shot a year ago, but I had two more fights and God, for one reason, gave it to me now."

Actually, I don't think that's a fair comparison as Silva is definitely better on the ground than Maia is standing.  I just hope that this fight doesn't consist of Maia trying to pull guard all fight with Silva having none of it.  I mean haven't we seen that before?
