Easiest fight on the card to pick, Andy will go for a takedown and Vera will snatch on a guillotine to get the victory.

Vera wins this easy IMO.
However Vera isn't that good so who knows?

Vera's pretty good and he should beat Reese Andy pretty easily. I'd actually be shocked if Reese won, because he's pretty much just a wrestler, while Vera more well-rounded. Also, Vera has a greco roman background.
Vera at 205 is interesting.

I find it interesting that not only did Brandon drop to 205, but two pounds under.
I think Brandon got a lot of bad press over the last year, had boring performance against Silva that he could have won, and got ripped off badly in the Werdum fight.
I have no doubt Brandon takes this one, probably in the first round, and I can't wait for his rematch with Werdum.
WAR VERA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha, that was very insightful.
Anyways, I see Vera winning this fight. He looks like he is in better shape than Andy and on paper he should win pretty easily so I'm confident in picking him.

Not exactly true, that was a good stoppage. He was getting hit with strikes and was not trying to improve his position. Werdum would've landed more strikes.

Yea Nick it took me a long time to write that one up.
Honestly I get tired of Vera's constant boasting and never backing it up his only good win is Mir after his injury and honestly beating Mir standing doesn't mean much.
Who says a guy who had just beaten you in the first round is scared of you?

The height difference and reach difference is pretty large. Ground or standing I see Vera ending this one fast.

Vera will end this in the first round. He's too well rounded and hungry for this must-win. Andy seems like a good guy, but doesn't stand much of a chance I'm afraid.
