UFC Fight Night 62: Demian Maia vs. Ryan LaFlare Full Fight Video Highlights

On Saturday, March 21, the UFC hosted UFC Fight Night 62: Maia vs. LaFlare from the Maracanazinho Gymnasium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

In the night’s main event, former middleweight title challenger Demian Maia continued his run at welterweight as he took on Ryan LaFlare. The Brazilian Maia got back in the win column in May with a unanimous decision win over Alexander Yakovlev. That win snapped a two-fight skid. LaFlare, meanwhile, had amassed 11 wins to kick off his career, including four straight inside the Octagon. The New York fighter had stopped seven of his wins before the final bell.

The co-main event featured another former title challenger in Josh Koscheck, who stepped in on short notice to take on Erick Silva. The veteran Koscheck suffered his fourth straight loss at UFC 184 just three weeks ago, but replaced an injured Ben Saunders. Brazil’s Silva had alternated wins and losses over his nine-fight UFC career and looked to build on the momentum of his 75-second submission of Mike Rhodes in December.
