“This year is the shittle”, huh. Where are you from Cheeks? Pluto? I’ve NEVER heard that expression used in my life.

He is marketable, Dana knows that... you're gonna see atleast 2 fights before he fights anyone prime, by prime, I mean someone that has the potential of beating him, not even nessicarily top 10. Sorry, but guy hasnt proven anything yet... Now Sylvia - Vera I would LOVE to see. Styles are so close... and Tim's reach would really show if Vera has other aspects of his game outside of striking.

Tim Sylvia is actually tough as nails and hits like a mule, he’s just not as likeable as the guys he fights (Couture, Arlovski, etc…)

Brandon Vera will be a champion one day, no doubt- I don’t know why so many people disrespect him.

They better not even dare put him in the octagon against the likes of Carmelo Marrero or Brad Imes. The time has come for Brandon Vera to prove himself to all the doubters. Someone said that he would have a better chance at clearing out the LHW division than the HW division. I would have to argue that one... Vera just needs to get in the octagon against a Top 5 talent.

Kinda rooting for AA on this one. I really want to see him get back into the swing of things. I really want Vera to drop in weight and dominate LHW.[/quote] I doubt anyone will be dominating the LHW division anytime soon. I expect the LHW title to change hands many times this year. Shogun has the potential to clean out the division. But if u r a big Verra fan, I wouldnt want him fighting in a division that boasts liddell, shogun, rampage, hendo, wanderlei. He's better off at heavyweight because a lot of the top 10 fighters at the HW division have had shacky performances as of lately. If I was Verra Id rather fight: Arlovski(very tentative fighter since the sylvia fight) Big Tim (pussy who's confidence has to be at an all time low after getting a 25 min beatdown by an old man, whom he dwarfed) Noguera (extremely dangerous, although weak performance against hearing that we can chalk up to UFC jitters. Werdum (crappy on his feet) My point is that verra can have more success at Heavyweight [quote comment="127463"]i like both AA and Vera. Kinda rooting for AA on this one.

Arlovski does just enough not to lose now where as Vera will take him out the first oppurtunity he gets. Vera does not fight to get a descision win. As un technical as he might be, I actually think Vera would have a harder time against Sylvia, especially as he likes using Muay Thai knees to soften up his opponents. I think that would be a little harder against big Tim. Vera will take out Andre (I lost to Tim Sylvia twice)Arlovski.
