Fresh off his emphatic, one-sided victory over Neil Magny at UFC 190, a lot of people pined Demian Maia's next fight to come against fellow grappling ace, Gunnar Nelson.
Turns out the UFC wanted to do that fight, too, for UFC Fight Night 76. But that fight is going to have to wait.
On Wednesday it was revealed during UFC Tonight that the Brazilian Maia suffered a nasty staph infection on his left leg, thus forcing him to turn down an offer to face Nelson in on Oct. 24 in Dublin, Ireland.
