Demian Maia has 10 submission wins on his UFC record. The quickest of them all came against Carlos Condit in the main event of UFC on FOX 21 in August 2017. With Maia (27-9 MMA, 21-9 UFC) riding a five-fight winning streak in the welterweight division at the time and trending toward a title shot, a matchup with former interim UFC titleholder Condit (30-13 MMA, 7-9 UFC) got the main event showcase. Maia was the one who shined, though, because he ran through Condit for a rear-naked choke in just 112 seconds – only absorbing one significant strike in the process – in what is the fastest submission win of his octagon tenure.
