The fight was short but packed a lot of action. Both fighters got some good shots in but when Burns dropped that hook on Demian, things took a turn in his favor. The hook connected as precisely as it could and Maia fell clean to the mat. Burns then pummeled him with a continuous flow of punches until the referee was forced to intervene. The referee called the fight right there. Burns had knocked out Demina.

Demian Maia calls an Early Retirement

 Things wrapped up quite early. Burns had the job done within minutes. Even Damian said Gilbert did well and deserved to win. “He got me with the hook… he did well and he deserves [it]” He said in a post-fight interview backstage. In this interview, he also revealed his plans for the future.

Maia said the referee called it too early. He still had some fight left in him. Maia said he for sure could have continued to fight. He said, “The referee said he thought that I was out, and that’s okay! That’s the sport. But I was feeling good, I was getting in good positions. I thought I could go a little bit more.”
