Demian Maia not sure on retirement after UFC 263: ‘I’d like to have one more fight’

Before he calls it quits for good, seasoned veteran Demian Maia is not sure whether his upcoming fight at UFC 263 will be his last. Paired up against a rising Belal Muhammad for an intriguing battle of generations, the Brazilian feels like there could still be enough energy for one more outing.

In an interview with Combate, Demian explained that, should all things go well against Belal, there is no reason not to pursue another go. Although he knows retirement is not far away anyway, Maia would like to test himself against top competition while he still feels healthy and competitive enough to do so.
