[quote post=”1829″]For those who don’t know, Vera did sign an extension. So if they feed Nog him, yes Vera will lose, I think it’s because it will force him to LHW. The days of Vera saying he wants to be HW and LHW champ is 100% over. The landscape has changed over the last 8 months and an undersized Vera will get destroyed in the HW division.[/quote]

I know Vera is so little and weak ,He stands no chance in the HW div. He’ll get mauled by the big strong 250 lbs guys, Oh, wait a minute ,that was him mauling the last three 250 lbs guys he fought, sorry my mistake.

MMA= anything can happen! There is always the favorite, till the lucky kick or punch comes through! If it goes to the ground its Big nog advantage, if goes Stand up its Veras advantage. But the hungriness and will of Vera will make the difference! We saw in St Pierre againts Hughes, Serra againts St pierre, and Gonzaga againts Crocop. It will be the same! Vera’s hunger will be the deciding factor. Go ahead count him out, Im sure I wont!

[…] No opponent has been named, but UFC President Dana White has mentioned in previous interviews that it will be someone at the top of the heavyweight division. Brandon Vera has been a name that keeps popping up, but again, it’s all speculation at this point. […]

Regardless, I think Vera will do better than all you say. There is no reason to think why not, his limit has never been seen, he has walked through everyone yet. So he is still kinda like a wildcard. Maybe NOG will slaughter him, maybe Vera can step up. But untill you see Vera fight something that pushes him to his limit, it is all Speculation.

[quote comment=”36662″][quote comment=”35934″]Everyone has a prediction and some of you guys think you actually know what will happen. I love it! Here’s my prediction: Vera will finish Nog before the third round. I don’t really like the guy (Vera), but he’s looked good in pretty much every fight I’ve seen him. He’s skilled, young, fast, and very strong. And he’s got something to prove.

There you go “Stafo”, there’s doubt in your prediction.[/quote]
You claim your opinion on seeing Vera fight. Have you seen the 2 time PRide HW champ fight, DA?[/quote]

Thank U MTU for informing WADZ on who Vera’s possible opponent is. Doubt in my prediction…LOL Cracking me up

[…] This is total rumor, but I’ve been hearing a lot of talk that Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira’s first UFC fight could be against Brandon Vera. Take that for what it’s worth. I’m trying to get some sort of official confirmation.” With Randy Couture, Mirko Cro Cop Filipovic, Gabriel Gonzaga, Andrei Arlovski and Fabricio Werdum all tied up in the near future, there are few “big name” fighters available to fight the former PRIDE FC heavyweight champion. In fact, the only other competitive option besides Vera is former UFC heavyweight titleholder Tim Sylvia. Link Wow what a fight this would be; Vera has pretty good standup and can throw some deadly knees but I would have to give Big Nog the advantage in this one as everyone knows his ground game is legendary. This would be a great test for both fighters. […]
