If EA's gonna update Maia to say IC or H2h, he's likely gonna get the usual ton of Takedowns and Submission (throw in 1 or 2 legendary abilities here), and definitely no legendary moves for Standup. Similar to that of IC Faber. Nah, he was developing a standup game until he got starched by Marquette. And fall back to his A-game. Also Woodley got Askren in his corner and Maia only got 4+ weeks to prepare, so it's a total checkmate. If Woodley didn't grab the fence in Round 1, I'm pretty sure the outcome would be much different.

It didn't help people only see Woodley shutting Maia down and f*king his eyes. Maia actually  managed to stun T-Wood too (Hard to see with his skin color.. no offense). This is really similar too how people praised Cody like a prodigy for 'dominating' Cruz. Not that I'm saying Cody is bad, people failed to notice that Cruz got bad feet (foot wraps) and TAM was feuding with Cruz since the inception meaning they have finally managed to deciphered him. So, it took them 20+ times and a really amazing boxer Cody to pull it off, which might devalue Cody's win in my opinion.

Sorry for the long ass reply, I will still buy Cody CE and Kudos to those who got Holly, Pickett, Mac or Lawler (prob except Cigano). Maia might only get h2h at most unless he become a champ or smth.
