I was really surprised to see Vera beat on Mir so easily. I seriously wonder if Mir is not what he used to be since his accident? I mean he lost to Marcio Cruz, now gets destroyed by Vera. I don't meant to take anything away from these guys, I was just shocked since Mir looked in great shape!
I do not think he will ever be as good as before the accident, sucks for him bacause the fighters are making alot more money than when he was champ.At least he can say that he snapped the arm of sylvia like a toothpick though!
He was bad tonight, atleast showed up in decent shape. He's had some tough fights since his accident, he had a hard enough time doing cardio when he didn't break his femur, but you can only imagine afterwards. The one fight that was supposed to be easy was vs Christison but he made it a difficult fight because he was badly out of shape.
Considering the UFC heavyweight division is lacking, they should feed him 2-3 cans and get his confidence up on ultimate fight night or something. He's still young, it would be sad for a talented fighter to retire like this.

well mir never actualy had a good standup >.>
his strong side was allways his BJJ and it will allways be his BJJ.
he didnt try to take vera down but to standup with him
and you all saw what happend >.>
mir was in good shape...i really think vera is just a freak of nature...hes good as they come...i think hed run through some of prides lhw. he only landed one kneed and threw 3-4...if 2 had connected it wouldve even worse then what it was.
ive never seen that lil crusafix hold vera had mir in with both his arms tied up.
mir couldnt even hold his forearms together to block punchs...
........hands down best fight of the night.
Vera is just that good. The sport is evolving so quickly, a fighter like Mir is already going obsolete. When Mir was champ, the Brandon Vera type fighters weren't there yet.
yes thats true, the heart wanted MIR to win but the head knew he wouldnt. seeing as the HW division is weak it would be silly to let him go, he is still a very good fighter. He needs confidence, and he probably should fight a top 5-10 type HW like a Kongo - as suggested above.
He is still quite young and has something to offer i hope he stays around.
wtf drugs are u guys on Vera is older than Mir, Mir still has a long time to show his talent and get back into it if UFC releases him he should go fight somewhere else and after a few wins then ufc can rehire him hope they dont though but yeah goodo to vera be good to sylvia knock him out

Vera may live up to his name "the truth" he is very explosive and exciting to wacth.If he gets a title shot my money is on him ,win lose or draw he puts in 110%.pinoys had a good night Vera with a victory as well as many "pacman" paquiao
Vera is just that damn good...and he'll only get better, though it is true that Mir has not been the same since the accident. My pinoy brother Vera will beat Sylvia when they fight, all Sylvia has on Vera is long reach while Vera outclasses him in ALL other catagories.
I just havn't been too impressed with Tim, props for coming back from that suspension and winning the title but he hasnt shown anything that would lead me to think he would beat Vera.
Frank Mir has never been the same since the motorcycle accident. No disrespect to Brandon Vera, he's good but if he faced the pre-motorcycle accident Frank Mir, he would've been in for a fight and not a one sided beatdown like he gave to Mir last night.
Vera is just that good Couldn't you tell? Mir was talking about how much bigger he was before the fight like it was to Vera's disadvantage. On the other hand, Vera is tall, great striker, faster than most at his weight. Vera was my pick ever since I heard of this fight happening. I told everyone he was gonna take it and even made a few side bets. Mir's time is over. Vera will make a great champ someday.

Not the topic thread? It says "Is Vera that good or has Mir just never been the same since the accident" Correct me if I'm wrong but I stated how Vera is that good just as the thread title states. How am I off topic? And yes Diaz did well I just want to see the damn fight

I just dont see why he isnt the same? what reason or logic is there for this? he came in good shape and got his ass kicked. what did this accident do to him that effects his preformance?
