Demian Maia vs. Anthony Rocco Martin targeted for UFC Minneapolis

Anthony Rocco Martin will look to capture the biggest win of his career this summer.

Martin is expected to take on top UFC welterweight Demian Maia at UFC Minneapolis on June 29, Combate reported Thursday. The promotion is targeting the fight but it is not yet official, according to the report.

Maia is coming off a submission win over Lyman Good in February at UFC Fortaleza. The victory snapped the Brazilian veteran’s three-fight skid, which included losses to ex-champ Tyron Woodley in a title fight, former interim titleholder Colby Covington, and current champ Kamaru Usman.
