UFC 125 results: Brandon Vera broken nose (pic)

Vera_nose_medium_medium

Admire Thiago Silva's work, ladies and gentlemen. And many fans are calling Brandon Vera's recent disfigurement worse than Rich Franklin's broken beak from UFC 64.

"The Truth" hurts.

What's the deal?

Why do the fighters with the hottest wives always end up being the ones to get their noses relocated. Poor Kerry Vera and Beth Franklin have to go to bed every night with very noticeable pieces missing from the face they married. Then again, it’s pretty obvious Kerry never married Brandon for his looks to begin with.

yeah, he's changed a lot

He used to strike me as such a cocky arrogant prick, but in the lead-up to the Randy fight I noticed he seemed to have matured a ton. His fighting mentality isn’t what it used to be, but he seems like a much better human being now. I wish him the best.

Vera should be cut – he put up as much offense as Kalib Starnes did in his last UFC fight (minus the jog) hence the scoring.

it’s a shame that that yr lay off really did seem to rob him of something…he simply can’t hang with the roster a is right. strikeforce or bellator would be good places for him….maybe even japan. he has talent but the A and B team at 205 in the UFC is just too much.

no doubt

Only time I’ve ever blacked out or been knocked out was by a double-open-hand-compression-slap to both ears from behind. For a split second everything went dark and when the lights switched back on, I was on my knees and dude was already 50 yards away laughing his head off. I caught up with him later that day and hit him so hard he soiled himself, but I’ll never forget that awful feeling!

damn son...hate seeing my boy getting the boot from the ufc...peeps in the ufc just got so scared of his stand up...hes the best 205 striker next to shogun

when was the last time you seen thiago scared to stand with anyone?

same with bones jones…he always jumping round doin spinning elbows and crazy kicks and crazy striking but he went in and took vera straight to the ground…

and randy was too chicken shit to stand with him…randy stood toe to toe with nogs, sylvia, brock….but he clinched with vera right away….the one time they stood toe to toe vera dropped him with one kick and he turtled up…

i was hoping that this fight would have been a stand up war…i wanted to see thiago and vera in the middle of the cage slugging it out going for the ko…but thiago wanted no part of that shit…i never seen him too scared to slug it out before…he went the lay n pray route…

it was smart though…he got the win…vera wasnt expecting that shit…props to thiago…hes a top 5 contender..only losses were to shad and machida…so hes definantly on top of the division….

but if you notice at the beginning of the 1st and 2nd rounds when they stood vera got the best of him with the striking…

no one at 205 wants to stand with vera…they scared of his ass….not bones, not randy, not thiago…

i hate seeing him go..but im looking forward to seeing him and gay HARD in a striking match in sf…and him and hendo going toe to toe too

yea but he got to get his td defense in order...

Vera great standup but...

he knows how to wrestle n BJ but he can’t deal well with adversity and just was content on taking a beating on bottom, he’s a front runner as soon as it goes in reverse a few times he’s mentally done….

by THORAZINE on Jan 2, 2011 1:57 AM EST up reply actions  

exactly!

Nothing wrong with Vera’s TDdefense SKILLS, just his head. Hell even Randy couldn’t take him down from the clinch when he came prepared. How many people have we seen that Randy couldn’t take down? Randy took Brock down, but not Vera. But tonight, again, Vera’s head wasn’t on straight. I mean, I can’t fault him for getting surprised by Silva once. Who the hell would have thought THIAGO SILVA would go for a TD against a Greco-specialist??? I’m sure Brandon never even considered that possibility in training. But after it happened once, he shouldn’t have been caught with his pants down 2 more times.

There’s no problem with Vera’s skills, the problem is in his head and his heart.

jardine stood with the greatest lhw of all time and won before he became a glass jaw (chuck)..and he ko'd forrest..that's 2 former lhw champs

and that was also only vera’s 2nd fight at lhw after cutting like 25 pounds from hw….you go from fighting 230 to 205 you gonna have some conditioning issues…hell just look at what happened to shields in his ufc debut when going down a mere 15 pounds…he was barely breathing…

you shouldnt still be trying to manage your cut the second time.

Stop being so defensive here. Vera deserves to be cut. He gets paid way too much to be an undercard fighter, but should bolster a burgeoning LHW division in shark fights. Hell, he can go over ther and lose to Jardine again and then Prangley.

Or, he should just tighten his stand-up and fight K-1.

naw son i aint being defensive...he got his ass kicked tonight...hes lost like 5 out of his last 9 fights...thats a pink slip type shit...he deserves to be cut

im actually looking forward to seeing him and geygard going toe to toe in a stand up war…i think that shit would be badass…and seeing him and hendo banging in the center of the cage would be sick too….

its obvious in his last several fights that his ability to recover from being taken down is hurting him….

werdum beat him on the ground….bones beat him on the ground….thiago beat him on the ground…..he has to work on his ground game if he wants to be a top guy…

gsp cheated...he was greasing

by HellaHectic on Jan 2, 2011 7:43 AM EST up reply actions  

his ground game and his heart are huge question marks.

I was a huge fan when he first emerged at HW, but the holdout for more cash kind of soured me to him. After he started losing at 205, it was kind of obvious he was never going to be the beast everyone made him out to be due to his lack of groundgame. (although I still think he beat Capt. Paycheck)

by Ulf Murphy on Jan 2, 2011 7:47 AM EST up reply actions  

yeah his ground game really suprised me in a bad way i thought it would be a lot better under Lloyd Irvin

This is his first win since mid-‘09, and Vera was coming off 2 losses. This doesn’t earn him a crack at the winner of that fight. The winner of that fight deserves a TOP 5 guy or a recent former champ.

by soupdz28 on Jan 2, 2011 5:38 AM EST via mobile up reply actions  

if franklin beats forrest it would be an insult for him to fight the winner of tito/nogs...especially if its tito winning his 1st fight in 4 years

him beating forrest and then fighting winner of nogs/tito is like 4 steps back…

franklin beats forrest the perfect fight is page/franklin…cause right now page is sitting round with no one to fight…so the logical fight for him is winner of franklin/forrest…a rematch with page and forrest would be a huge money maker…but so would a fight with franklin

machida is coming off 2 losses..but he’s STILL the number 3 contender in the division behind shad and page…but they’re not gonna have thiago/machida 2 because of how lopsided the first fight was…the winner of bones/bader faces thiago….loser of forrest/franklin faces machida…

those are some great potential fights….seeing rich and machida rematch after all these years would be great…

bones vs thiago will be sick….

page vs franklin OR forrest is huge….

And I don’t see Franklin fighting nog A’s a real step back I mean he knocked out chuck who was on a 5 fight losing streak and has a chin that can get him knocked out by small children so I don’t think Franklin shoul be held super high at 205. And I’m a huge Franklin fan. Even if he beats griffin that doesn’t say much, arguably up untilthe last round Tito could have won that fight but for some reason he thought standing still and letting griffin punch him in the gave was a good strategy

It’s #3 in my books, #2 bein Franklin and #1 bein that guy off of tuf 11 in the fight to get in the house, but he got beat by some guy with green hair. They were friends supposedly. If anyone knows who the fuck I’m talkin about please tell me the dudes name.

I know that guy that beat him was clayton mckinney (green hair) i think

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

Jones vs. Silva

Jones via murder. Thiago is a punk…I hope he gets his orbital bone shattered by Jones after he drops Bader.

Damn thats whack for Vera..idk what happend to him nowdays, he quickly deterioreted from a hyped up fighter that used to win to a stepping stone almost. However i did expect him to lose but just for his nose to look like that. I still think Franklin’s looked worse after UFC 64 when Silva won the title. Bye bye Vera see u in StikeForce or perhaps Shark Fights with Jardine..i’d be surprised if the UFC keeps around 4 one more fight.
As for Thiago S. the dude has the look of a serial killer if they needed someone to play a violent thug/psycho role he would be a good candidate but 1st i would like to see him fight Rampage or Jon Jones in his next fight. Tho i have a feeling that its gonna be Rampage in a Co-Main event sometime in April or somethin.

For someone who has a good wrestling backround, his college wrestling did not translate well to MMA wrestling…I remember him saying going into the Jones fight that he was always to worried about being takendown and he shouldnt be because he is good with his jits, but it is very clear he offers nothing from his back and should really focus on his takedown defense….I guess tapping out A. Silva at ufc 70 made him think he is a world beater off his back…but I feel we will see him in a year or so if the UFC cuts him he just needs a lot of work with the ground game and takedown defense

Ass. Silva that was @ UFC 60: Hughes Vs. Gracie in 2006. But yeah true Vera dosent have the best wrestling for someone who has studied Greco Roman n collegian wrestling.. and he does not use his jits n strikin to his advantage. He should be a world beater standing up after training with Rob Koeman and he received his BJJ Brown Belt from Lloyed Irvin so his ground should be slicker..

''Vera came to fight, Thiago came to grapple''

Watching that really hurt man dammit Vera! Thiago is a beast but his attitude is really shit

Edson Barboza and Charles Oliveira are gonna stir up the pot at 155!

im sure dana was pretty disappointed with that fight...that fight was put together for the sole purpose of being an ALL OUT BRAWL

cause they already figured gray/edgar were going to a decision….diaz/kim were going to a decision…and since edgar and maynard was such a hard sell on their own…they figured they’d put 3 big explosive fights on there to make it stand out…

i mean look at the match ups and you tell me what was expected…

leben/stann….anyone expect that fight to be a humpfest? fuck no…you expected to see a slugfest and thats what we got…

guida/gomi….anyone expect that to be a 3 round humpfest? fuck no…you expected to see an all out war and thats what we got…

and i think thats what they expected in the vera/silva fight…an all out 205 war…but thiago didnt fall for that….he went in with a safe and effective gameplan..and got the win

gsp cheated...he was greasing

exactly Thiago's corner said dont stand with him

but man did it hurt watching Vera getting slapped, when he droppd Silva with that kick in the second round i believe, i thought YES! now we gonna see ‘’The Truth’’.

Edson Barboza and Charles Oliveira are gonna stir up the pot at 155!

Safe and effective lol!

He beat the crap out of Vera. Getting thrown on your back is part of the game, its not playing it safe. Silva stood and threw, he took him down and smashed him, it was a good performance by Thiago he really dominated Brandon regardless of were it was. Do we even need to talk about Brandon Vera anymore, hasnt enough been said and done.

by HEELHOOK on Jan 2, 2011 11:47 AM EST up reply actions  

Dana isn't part of Thiago's corner

so who gives a shit what he thinks? Thiago’s gonna do what Thiago’s gonna do…

and this is MMA, Vera should go do some K1 if he’s so great in the striking department, leave MMA for those who can play into the diversity of the game.

Another lame duck performance from Vera

Im done wondering if he gets cut after each fight he loses. Two wicked busted up face loses in a row, maybe he will do us all a favor and just quit lol!
