EDIT, just found out that Okami gets the winner of Silva/Leites.

what about Rousimar Palhares might not be better in bjj (but might be) but he is a better fighter as a whole in my opinon

Its in his contract.

So they have to honor it.

I don't know about that.

I think it was over confidence.

talked to a friend who trains with Nate Quarry and he said that they had no worries about Maia's ground game and Nate felt like he could beat Maia anywhere.

Nate is a great fighter.. but I have to agree with you.. Would it bother me if the UFC gave him a shot before Damien.. nope.. but I wouldn't mind seeing Maia get the fight first either.

I don't care if the loss was by points, it was a loss fair and square.
He fought dirty, he paid the price.

Maia is 5 - 0 in the UFC, with 5 impressive submission wins.

It isn't like Nate's fight with Anderson was a war, or super close or something,
I don't see why people think he deserves a shot before Maia.
