The UFC has had a ton of gimmie submissions and Fitch is notorious for putting himself in bad spots to try and gain position... Damien Maia is not the guy to do that with.
Fitch does posses the one key to stopping that, dominant top control. However, he better stay alert and active or he can very easily be submitted. There are black belts then there is Damian Maia, he's on a different level. The same way a striker can land one punch and end the fight, Maia can catch you being lazy and sweep or sub you.

Aldo has fought twice in two years. Edgar will be on his 7th fight in 2.5 years.
I think Edgar takes this. The wars he has been in with BJ Penn, Gray Maynard, Benson will give him the edge.

My point is that there is a such thing as lucky knockouts, but not a such thing as a lucky submission.
Knockouts happen when you land a punch. Sometimes the punch hits the exact right spot and the lights go out. Sometimes guys can just eat punches and not get knocked out.
Knockouts are like homeruns in that you are trying to do your best job of hitting the ball. Sometimes you connect exactly right and you hit it out, but most of the time you don't hit homeruns even if a homerun is your goal.
But submissions are like touchdown passes. You see the receiver, and he's open if you put the ball exactly in the right place. It takes an expert quarterback to put it there, but is simply a matter of execution that determines if it will be a touchdown or not.
Knockouts are random, like homeruns. If you are a good hitter, then you will hit homeruns more than others... but they are still random.
Touchdown passes, like submissions, are not random, and are the result of execution.
