All you guys that think Vera is to small for HW, must have missed him maul the first 4 BIG DUDES (240-250 lbs) he fought in the ufc. He took Tim down (with a BROKEN hand,no surprise he couldn’t do anything to him). If he’s to small , how come Sylvia didn’t destroy him ,since he only had one good hand. He was doing fine against Werdum, there’s NO WAY a fight should be stopped when the fighter isn’t hurt at all ( guys get mounted ALL THE TIME and you don’t stop the fight until they are getting hurt). I could see him being to small if he was getting beat up, but he looked the same in these 2 fight at the end as he did walking in. He just had some bad luck. Nobody could beat Sylvia with 1 good hand (infact most would get KTFO)and NOBODY can beat a BAD call of a ref like Dan Mirgilotti (don’t care if I spell that losers name right).

No ground game? Vera is a brown belt under Lloyd Irvin, and thats no easy feet. He’s an 8 time grapplers quest champion and a very high level wrestler. I think most of Brandon’s problems stemed from his size. He was just too small for heavyweight.

Agreed… I can’t wait to see how he looks physcially and how much quicker he will be at 205. There are soooo many good match ups at 205 its crazy.

Yeah I saw that video….As a Philadelphian, I was so happy to see Vai give that meathead a beatdown. Canseco was so much bigger than Vai, but Vai just exploded on him!

Jose is already crying about how he barely trained and wants a rematch!

I had high hopes for Vera when I first saw him in the UFC, he was just walking through his opponents. But against tougher competition, he hasn’t looked so good. Mir was overweight and badly out of shape when he fought him and I don’t think Mir was there mentally.

I agree Vera should have been fighting at LHW the whole time, as he’s always looked pretty soft. I think it’s an ego issue with him, he wants to play with the big boys. Brandon needs to stop making excuses. If he doesn’t want the ref to stop it, then don’t get mounted. If he doesn’t want to lose a decision, don’t let it go to the judges. I think he has what it takes to be a champ and his chances look much better at LHW.
