Demian Maia has quickly become a contender in the welterweight division. At UFC Fight Night 29, the Brazilian will look to take one step closer to his second UFC title shot by beating Jake Shields in his home country. Shields has been on a bumpy road since coming up short against 170-pound champion Georges St-Pierre. However, Shields is now headed back in the right direction following a knockout loss to Jake Ellenberger and a failed drug test at UFC 150.
