Damian ready for UFC Middleweight?
Top UFC middleweight contender, Damian Maia will be putting on his
MMA gloves again as he feels he is ready to take up current UFC middleweight champion title holder Anderson Silva nicknamed ‘The spider’. Talking to Fighters magazine he said:
“I see myself ready to fight for the belt. I would go at Anderson and it would give him the chance of knocking me out or give me the opportunity to finish the fight. That’s what I expect. I’m not saying I will win, but I will fight to end the fight before the judge’s decision. I want to do an aggressive fight and expose myself more. The UFC were waiting on the result of Anderson-Thales match to see what to do with me. They told me they were planning to give me the chance in August but because of their performance the UFC decided not put Silva in a main event very soon. Then they matched me and Nate Marquardt to find out the next challenger for the belt.”

“I’m used to coming through in those situations, …….the team trusts me to come through in those situations, and it just didn’t happen tonight,†said the frustrated Kobe Bryant after Lakers first defeat marking
Magic’s first victory in the NBA all star finals. Most disappointing to all was when he lost his last chance to give the Lakers a 3-0 advantage in the finals, with half a minute left, he lost the ball to Mickael Pietrus and ended up fouling him leading to Magic gaining two free throws and winning the game by 4 points-108/104!

“There is no defeat except for those who give upâ€. This definitely should be what the Orlando Magic puts in their minds after their double defeat in the NBA finals. Many of us were excited to see how the NBA all stars-Dwight vs. Kobe, Lewis vs. Odom and Turkoglu vs. Gasol match-up and many Magic and even Cavalier fans were hoping for Magic to beat the Los Angeles Lakers but to everyone’s disappointment they lost by 25 points in the first game, 100/75 and 101-96 in the second game. Obviously, with the Lakers long championship history of nine wins, their capability shouldn’t be underestimated but all expected more from Magic! After all, they were the team who beat the Cavaliers and erased everyone’s dream of Kobe meeting Lebron in the final! What exactly happened in this most awaited Celebrity game? Does Magic still have a chance or is the trophy as good as Lakers? Let’s have a quick review.
