Vera’s is probably the happiest HW in the UFC. Now that big Tim is gone he might even be able to get a title shot.

Until the United States Goverment secure our borders, I will not support the fighting campaign of Brandon Vera.

I would really like to see Vera beat WERDUM at heavyweight, but I remain skeptical. Not sure he will cut it at heavyweight. This fight against Werdum should be a good test because he cant beat WERDUM, who is close to his size, then he must cut down to LHW! On paper, Vera should win…he has been practicing muy tai for much longer and his greco Roman background should keep the fight standing as long as he wants, but Werdum makes me nervous…I will change my mind about thihs fight 10 times by the time they actually fight so I will just hold back the predictions but If I had t pick right now, I would go with Werdum!

Seemed personable and down to earth in that interview. Which is far different than the normal “I’m the greatest and will be the first ever to hold HW and LHW belts at the same time”.

i would rather see him get a title shot than mir.

“Don’t believe the hype, just believe what you see”

“Muay thai baby, Rob Kaman 101”

If Vera could keep the silly comments out when hyping himself, I’d like him a whole lot better. He’s just not that mature yet… you can see it in his interview. However, he’s starting to grow up.

I’m looking forward to seeing Vera maul Verdum and move up in the HW rankings in the UFC.

Do you guys think he’s a viable heavy weight though? I know the HW division is thin, and the UFC needs Vera in the mix but he is more of a LHW in body size, and I see better fights in the LHW division. Vera vs Thiago Silva comes to mind.

I like Brandon Vera, but, even Tim Sylvia showed him that a well skilled bigger HW can take him out of his game. Too bad the UFC lost Arlovski. Vera vs. Arlovski would have had some huge fireworks too!

I don’t understand Vera’s logic, at LHW he can hold the title but at HW it’s a big task and probably won’t happen.

Gotta like the guy.

I don’t know why everone thinks he should move to LHW. He was smothered by Silvia for 3 rounds in his only lose. He dominated all his other fights, including the guy who gets the next title shot.
Look at Randy at LHW compared to his last couple fights at HW. I just think this Werdum fight will really show where he belongs. And I hope for the sake of the UFC HW division he gets a highlight reel KO (which I think is very possibly).

I think he’s the biggest Chinese Philipino I’ve ever seen.

HYPE !!!!!!! THATS ALL IM GONNA SAY ABOUT VERA

I think Vera will win a decision! Verdum has never been stopped and he’s fought Gonzaga twice, Big Nog, Arlovski.

Very immature for his age

He should drop to 205. Especially after the Tim Silvia beatdown he got." Dont believe the hype "

whats with all the hate.his only loss was to big tim.he broke his hand and still stood in there.he will beat werdum.after that he might get a title shot against mir.we know what he did to mir.hes a cool guy and the biggest chinese philipino ive seen

If 80-100K isn’t enough for him then he needs to stay the hell away from the dreaded liberal arts degree.

how you like the interviewer’s conversational announcer voice? i’m going to try that when i get home until somebody pimp-slaps me. lol

vera sounded drunk. he’s greedy too

Vera isn’t cocky, he is confident, I first met him before UFC 65, he believes in himself so much that he bet the majority of his guaranteed purse on himself. Must have been a nice decision.

Reading These Comments Makes Me Laugh…..
“vera sounded drunk. he’s greedy too” ,
“HYPE !!!!!!! THATS ALL IM GONNA SAY ABOUT VERA” ,
“Very immature for his age” .

Are You Guys Looking To Date Him Or Something??
Its A Video Interview Just Enjoy It.

I don’t know what you guys are talking about. Vera moving down to LHW? Why would he do that? I mean Brandon Vera has a much better chance to win the HW title considering theres only 3 fighters in the entire division lol.

ya really. he’s a good fighter, and he’s def well rounded. so idk why everyones saying he’s just hype :s. And i don’t know how old this guy is but i don’t know why people call him immature/cocky. he seemed to have learned a lot of shit from what he’s done growing up, and he doesn’t seem satisfied. I’m sure he knows he has more shit to learn outside of fighting. and in mma, he’s pushing himself to hold 2 titles….idk what to say bout who ever said he sounded drunk, lmao i just laughed at that lol.

Vera lost me as a figt fan in his last fight I never thought he would be a pussy in the ring! very dissappointing to watch him run and not bring it to Tim

In fact he looked like a lil bitch! just being real Brandon I hope your reading this cause you fucking pissed me off that night I used to be a huge fan of yours till that night!

i hope brandon wins and get a title shot! then maybe he could headline the first UFC event in the philippines. haha. well its all wishful thinking so dont hate much haha.

If Vera loses to Werdum, he probably will drop to 205. However, if he wins, he’ll get the winner of the big Nog vs. Mir fight. Either way, it’s a win-win situation for him because he would be a very big LHW, like Forrest and Jardine.

man, how tall is Vera? they have him listed at 6’2" but i swear when he was next to Sylvia he looked at least 6’3" or something…cant wait to see Werdum up next to Vera.

In Vera’s case…i think the HW division is a lot LESS competitive than the LHW division. Vera could very well go 2-0 in the HW division and get a title shot…

but would probably have to go at least 6-0 at 205 before anybody even notices.

i think, probability-wise, he’s got a better shot at stringing 3 wins in a row at HW than winning about 6 in a row at LHW.

vera would prove to y’all that he is the best….. fuck critics……… pinoy pride!!!!
