Demian Maia Awarded 4th Degree BJJ Black Belt in Advance of UFC 198
By FCF Staff
In advance of Demian Maia’s May 14th bout with Matt Brown, the vaunted grappler has received his fourth degree, black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
The 38 year-old welterweight, who many view as one of the best, if not the best grappler in all of MMA, received the belt recently in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Maia is riding a four fight winning streak as he gets set to face Brown. The latter is coming off a submission win over Tim Means, after being decisioned by Johny Hendricks and Robbie Lawler in consecutive fights.
Maia – Brown will be part of UFC 198, which will take place in Curitiba, Brazil.
