Yikes... I feel bad for my man... I will give some excuses so I can say that I tried defending him.

He broke his hand in the first round with Sylvia so that can explain his poor striking performance.

The Werdum fight was stopped early IMO. I think it was that horrible Dan Mirgliotta Reffing too.

He cut too much weight too fast for Reese Andy in his first LHW fight. He was gassed after the first round.

And I have no excuse for that last fight. He just sucked and didn't perform like he should have. I was expecting Jardine to lose his head.

Overall I'm sad about my boy and I hope he starts demolishing people again... Maybe you all are right and he just sucks. Sad day for me.

This should be a fight that builds Veras confidence. Patt isn't very good so if it goes passed the first or second round, Vera should be dropped. Or at the very least, if he struggles during that time, he should be dropped. He's getting alot of chances in the UFC. He better make good use of them.

LOL.

But yeah, Vera did indeed bust. It was sad to see him go from KO'ing a lazy Frank Mir to busting so bad. I haven't seen his entire fight with Jardine yet:)dunno:) but I can say it's been a while since I've seen a strong Brandon Vera.

If Vera wants to regain the respect of many MMA fans, he needs to have a very impactful win over Patts. Then after this match, give him another opponent, probably Sokoudju who just came off a loss. If he bags that, I guess he's back on track. Hopefully he improves his gas tank. Come on guys, let's give him a chance. If he gets owned by Patts, he better not fight again, ever.

vera will never get a title shot he has been in 3 dissapointing maches in a row

Wow guys calm down. Nobody even remotely said this was the main event. A lot of complaints for nothing so far. At least wait till the main card is officially announced to whine. If you don't like it, don't want it at all.....no matter what the card is like. OR just come on here and sound like old nags bitching about everything:confused02::confused05:

I personally hope it will be a decent card since I'm only around 2 hours from Columbus. Can't wait till things are announced and tickets are available!

Now I caught the end of the Vera hype I think or may have bought into when I wathced UFC unleashed every night to find out more about the UFC but I checked his wiki and his first 3 or 4 UFC fights were against nobodies.

Perhaps he was just hyped and he is no longer The Truth, just The Hype. If Patt wins here he could be pushed up in the UFC's estimation.

I was just going to come in here and say something about that.

Dana needs to beg Chuck and fight on this card since that is the only person that can sell a card right now available.

Even though Jardine already has a fight lined up with Cane this would be a perfect time to do the rematch with Liddell.
 
#35 ·
Ya I would like to see if Liddell has anything better of a game plan then usual. He needs to, because these guys are on to his dependence of a knock out. It just isn't working anymore. Hopefully he trains in other areas more.

As for the Columbus fight card. I have never been to a live UFC, so I am hoping to finally get to go, or wait till I visit Vegas in or around June/or July.

Regardless of where...I wanna go :(
 
#37 ·
I wonder how the live gates are doing right now in Ireland. Anybody fill us in from there.

Oh yah...Vera is still in the UFC. J/P He's been one big disappointment.

Look, I agree that Vera is kinda over-hyped but just watch this to see how Boetsch owns Patt:

Unless he has done some DRASTIC improvement (and if I'm not mistaken he has not fought since UFC 88), Brandon will still take this. I think Patt isn't all that good against strikers.

This having been said - IS THIS SERIOUSLY THE MAIN CARD?!
