Thiago Silva vs. Brandon Vera promoted to UFC 125 main card

Should have been on there since the start.

Cool, I like this fight. Thiago is always enjoyable to watch, and I think he'll get Vera to engage.

I agree this could turn into a standup war.

One of the best fights on the whole card.

it would be a good win for vera

I'll be routing for Vera but it is gonna be a tough fight.

I hope this ends like the Jardine fight with one of Thiago's hands just holding Vera's head in place while he knocks him senseless and gets him out of the UFC

i was just gonna suggest that Vera is getting his walking papers along with the loss...

I was thinking whoever loses this fight might get their walking papers. I hope they do for real. It would be nice to see Vera or Silva in Strikeforce.

no way T Silva gets das boot... IMO at least

I agree. If Vera losses that could be it for him in the UFC and it would be not to surprising at all. If Silva losses and gets cut, I will be unhappy again.

+ he fought hurt against shad

Thiago is nowhere near the chopping block imo. But that doesn't mean that Dana wouldn't cut him, it depends on how much Thiago kisses Dana's ass. If he isn't kissing Danas ass often and the right way he'll cut him. Popularity is the only job security that any ufc fighter has and neither of these fighters have enough of a following to feel safe about their job.

Being involved in a boring fight puts the neck on the block as well.
