My point is, that if a pure ground guy, like Maia, cannot solely rely on his bjj alone, if he were to go up against a superior striker or in Marquardt's case an experienced one, look at what happened.
THere's a reason why Maia threw that kick, because he was trying to surprise Nate, ala Gonzaga on Cro-Cop. But, Maia did a poor job of executing it, he didn't set it up!!
