Brazilian welterweight Demian Maia was supposed to be fighting on this weekend’s UFC 163: Aldo vs. Korean Zombie fight card in Rio de Janeiro, but had the fight yanked out from under him when Josh Koscheck withdrew due to injury. Although Maia was pulled from the fight card altogether, he already has another opponent lined up. Maia will next face Jake Shields , according to a report on UFC Tonight on Tuesday night. There were few details available as to when or where the two would meet, but both fighters have reportedly agreed to the bout.
