I wanna see T Silva vs Vera

just a though since we saw both in action last night

hmm....Kristoff vs Keith might not be too bad either

Good idea on the vowelles experiment vs Keith dean of falling short in fights he should win and winning fights he should lose.

Thiago vs Vera is a no brainer. Winner of that firmly establishes themselves as top ten. And with the current state of the division, maybe even a contender.

Vera still might have work to do to become top 10. He's has plenty of ups and downs.

Silva has looked dominate vs everyone minus Machida so a win over Vera would just keep building the resume.

I'd also like to see Thiago vs Rich

No he hasn't. Mendes kicked his face in. He gassed against Drwal. Irvin didn't even really lose, he just got hurt as soon as the match started. Vera has looked significantly more impressive in his career apart from their only common opponent.

Vera is the better fighter with the better record, and Vera has never been destroyed like Thiago has. Vera lost against significantly larger fighters, one of which was a horrible stoppage that should have been over turned anyway.

I can't understand all the Vera hate. I really can't.

Easy money for Rich there.

I think Thiago would beat Vera. I like Vera but Thiago is better than Wolfy gives him credit for.

Im really not that interested in seeing Vera vs anybody. Dude's a bore.

Ever since his early run and gym change(?) he has been a not so exciting fighter.

And wolfy, Werdum was on top of him raining down shots. The ref could have let it go on a little longer, but Vera was about to get his lights turned out.

Vera wasn't out. The stoppage was bad. Vera is the man.

Thiago would embarras Vera.

Thiago is no where near Vera's level.

Please tell me you're kidding...Thiago would TKO him in the late 1st, early 2nd.

Ya because Vera is KO prone amirite? Vera has significantly better foot work, wrestling, head movement and speed. He is better than Thiago in all areas apart from KO power in his hands.

Vera is a great fighter.

I'm pretty sure your just trying to stir up an argument here. But Vera is just too boring to get into a heated debate over.

Vera is legit..I'm with u on this wolffy

Save it, you're just a hater.

I'd like to see that to be interesting to see how Silva would cope with Vera's vicious kicks.

Brandon Vera is not the Truth....he is all hype

Why, he has routinely showed he can fight well, has accomplished pedigrees in all aspects of the game, and hung in close with guys like Jardine and Sylvia even in defeat. What aspects of his game suck? Where are his failings as a fighter? What martial arts skills does he lack? What game plan would work against him?


Vera haters defend your argument with more than just "he sukz and iz da boreing!!!1111oneone!!!"

Now you get point for hanging with Timmy and Jardine?

I don't think Vera sucks. I just don't see him in the top 10. He's skilled overall, but great at nothing, fails to utilize his length, and lacks a big mental aspect in my opinion. That is not why I hate him. I hate him because he's a tool.

He utilizes his length great, especially in the kicking department. Disagree there.

Since when are Jardine and Sylvia cans? Especially Sylvia, since he is significantly larger than Vera.

I think Vera has pretty damn good greco and clinchwork, if not great. Kicks I would consider pretty damn solid too. The part of his game that he is working on and I am glad he acknowledged after the fight the other night was his hands.

I agree that he's not top-10, but nothing wrong with being top-15... And I have a feeling that sooner than later he will beat a couple of top-10 guys to make us think he belongs. This fight showed us more where Krzysztof is at than Vera. I'm very interested to see who his next fight will be against...

I dont think Vera sucks, I just think he is overrated and that Thiago would clown him.

Again that is IMO. They're like yesterdays, everyone has one.

I won't say he sukz and he's boring, but I will say that he is not that great and he is boring.
