You might be right. The only issue with demian Maia is that he is such a one dimensional fighter. His entire strategy is reliant on the takedown.
Anyone preparing for a fight with him like lawler or condit will be constantly training in takedown defence against similar fighters. This is why fighters with one major discipline rarely win the championship.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
