I think that Maia has the advantage on the ground. Although Jake has a good top game, I think he'll try to get keep it on the feet, but Maia will get the takedowns, and out-grapple him to a UD.
Thiago Silva missed weight. I could understand if he was a late replacement or something, but I don't know what his excuse will be.

He wighed in at 208lbs. The fight is still on, but he surrenders 25% of his purse. I could also see him getting KO of the night, but I don't believe that he'll be eligible for any fight bonuses now.
Palhares looked pretty drained. He's a huge guy for 170lbs; my money says Mike Pierce gets KOTN.

thiago may get dry humped to a ud loss
I don't think jake tries to keep it on the feet. he never tries to keep it standing, he will always try to go to the ground. if anything maia tries to keep it off the ground. he's got the better stand up. they may neutralize eachother on the ground and it could come down to the striking

No doubt maia could sub Jake or even just dominate on the ground. I think maia is better off his back. But they both can sub each other.
Palharis only wins if he pulls a sub in the first. After that he gets ko'd

Kind of a weird night.
Pierce pretty much gave him the leg, got out, then gave it to him again.
I didn't expect Beltran to try and wrestle as much as he did. Maldanado probably has the best body shots at 205lbs.
Thiago and Hamill both looked sluggish and out of shape.
I didn't expect DHK to get a KO like that. I've been a fan of DHK for a long time, but I also like E. Silva. Glad to see DHK get the win.
I was surprised that Shields didn't try to do more while he was on top, and even more surprised that Maia didn't try pretty much any subs from the bottom. The fight could have went either way.
