Undefeated Brazilian jiu-jitsu specialist Demian Maia (8-0) will likely return to middleweight action against The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 1 alum, Nate Quarry (10-2), at UFC 91: “Couture vs. Lesnar” at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, on November 15, according to Tatame.com.

Here’s a sip from Maia on the match up:


“I didn’t study his fights yet, I’ll receive a DVD with his fights, but I only watch my opponents’ fights when the fight gets closer. I’m training a lot my stand up game like for the last fight, but every time I can I do some BJJ trainings.”

That’s a smart approach to this type of fight because Maia — a 2007 Abu Dhabi tournament winner — doesn’t need to improve much on the ground.

He has won all three of his 185-pound bouts inside the Octagon since his debut with the promotion at UFC 77: “Hostile Territory” back in October 2007. And he’s come out on top in each one of those contests in style, defeating Ryan Jensen, Ed Herman and Jason MacDonald by way of submission and earning “Submission of the Night” honors for all of those wins.

It’s a remarkable streak, which he will look to keep intact against the heavy-handed “Rock.”

Quarry is undefeated (2-0) since a nearly two-year break from competition to recover from a serious injury that required “spinal fusion” surgery to repair. He stopped Pete Sell via come from behind third round knockout in his return fight and outpointed Kalib Starnes on all three judges scorecards in his most recent performance.

This is a fine addition to a card that already includes the “Biggest Fight in UFC History” between heavyweight champion Randy Couture and Brock Lesnar as the marquee attraction.
