    DALLAS — Much has been made of Demian Maia’s brilliant six-fight win streak, and for good reason. Over the past two years alone, Maia has toppled a quartet of ranked opponents with ease — Neil Magny, Gunnar Nelson, Matt Brown, and Carlos Condit — all while sustaining a stunning total of just 13 significant strikes during that run. It’s a ridiculous statistic that defies logic, especially considering Maia is a few months shy of turning 40 years old.
