UFC on FOX 21 in Tweets: Pros react to Maia vs. Condit, A. Pettis vs. Oliveira & more

I love it when I have my dinner set up, ice cold bottles of Stella Artois and get ready to tune into the fights only to realize the fights had already happened...roflz! Based on the comments looks like it was a fun filled night!

Like a fine wine, Demian Maia only gets better with age.

The 38-year-old jiu-jitsu savant submitted Carlos Condit with a masterful rear-naked choke in less than two minutes at UFC on FOX 21, notching his sixth straight victory and thrusting himself into the UFC title conversation at 170 pounds. Catch reaction to Maia's incredible victory below, plus the best of the rest from an entertaining night in Vancouver.

Cole Miller with the dumbest tweet... He's considered a striker cause did you see Oliveira's face before getting subbed. It looked like the strikes were about even and Pettis was barely putting anything behind some of those punches but he was landing as clean as it gets. That was an awesome fight.

I was kinda shocked Carlos lost so quickly when Matt Brown shrugged him off for almost 3 rounds. That either shows you Matt's got game or Condit's isn't very good. And yes I know Damian is great but I expected Carlos to be able to stay at range. He def deserves the shot more that Thompson.
