Maia Still Gunning For UFC Title

“The day I stop aiming for the title, I will stop fighting. That’s my goal and always will be, but I decided to stop thinking about it. Every time I think about it, it brings more pressure over me, and that was bad. I will continue fighting and see what happens.”

In a recent interview with MMAFighting.com, former UFC middleweight title challenger Demian Maia discussed his tenure in the UFC’s welterweight division and his future goals as a prize-fighter.

The submission ace once fought for UFC gold against Anderson Silva, but failed in his efforts.
