An all Brazilian middleweight affair looks set to go down on the UFC 136 card on October 8th in Houston, Texas, as submission wizard, Demian Maia takes on former Sengoku champion, Jorge Santiago on the main card of the evening. Maia revealed the fight via his Twitter account just moments ago meaning both sides have likely put pen to paper on official bout agreements.
Maia is unlucky not to have forced his way into title contention with the way he started out against Mark Munoz last time out but ultimately he lost out via unanimous decision. Prior wins over the likes of Dan Miller and Kendall Grove moved him up the ranks.
As for Santiago, he’s also coming off a loss on his return to the octagon when he was knocked out in the second round by Brian Stann. Prior to that he’d reigned as the Sengoku middleweight champion and had won eleven out of his twelve prior fights.
