The new ambassador of the Jiu-Jitsu in MMA, Demian Maia has impressed the world with his great ground game in the UFC. With five victories by submission in the octagon of the biggest MMA event in the world, the last over Chael Sonnen, the Brazilian is also filling his bank account. In the extra bonuses of the event, Demian earned at four opportunities the submission of the bight bonuses, getting more than $160 thousand.
"I'm not the type of guy that spends money easily, my life was always simple, I don’t like gold necklace and don’t like big cars. Actually, I reinvest much of what I gain in my training. To have an idea, until last week I had an old car (2000) and switched for a 2006, not luxurious", said the fighter, who is realizing the dream of living near the forest.
Invited for the Paredão session of the TATAME Magazine March issue, the black belt spoke about his beginning in fights, how he came to MMA by Jean Claude Van Damme’s influence, the trainings with Wanderlei Silva, the best and worst moments of his career, both in the MMA and Jiu-Jitsu, his relationship with Frank Mir, a possible confrontation with Anderson Silva and the second victory at the ADCC championship, in 2009.
