Frank Mir vs. Brandon Vera (UFC 65)
2008-05-06 20:00:00 This was what I consider to be Frank Mir's worst performance to date- this was two years after his motorcycle incident, and he was looking completely out of his game.Frank Mir VS Brandon Verahttp://www.tubearoo.com/art-icles/68403/UFC_Mir_vs_Vera.htm-lTalk about a walking disaster- this is a good video in showing fighters how important training and fighting under the correct mindset is- Frank Mir honestly looked like a person who did not know how to fight in that performance. He looked like a guy in average shape who's won a few bar brawls, and thrown into a cage with a professional fighter. He honestly looked like he didn't know where he was.But look at him now, right? He gets eternal kudos from me for shutting up Brock Lesnar WWE fanboys at UFC 81.

Brandon Vera: "I would like to be the Manny Pacquiao Of MMA" - 19 Oct 2007
2007-10-19 04:39:00 LOS ANGELES - Filipino-American and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) rising heavyweight star Brandon Vera may not get the publicity he deserves in the Filipino community but he's hoping to change that this Saturday. Vera faces off against former UFC Heavyweight Champion Tim Sylvia in UFC 77 ?Hostile Territory? on October 20 at the US Bank Arena in Cincinnati, Ohio. At 6?3? and 220 pounds, the 30-year-old Vera is not the prototypical Filipino. Vera?s father hails from the Philippines and mother is Italian-American. Vera?s Filipino heritage plays a large role in his fights. He wears a mouthpiece that resembles the Philippine flag. His back is covered with an ancient Filipino Alibata/Baybayin tattoo that reads mundo (earth), hangin (wind), apoy (fire), and tubig (water). And during his ring entrance, one of Vera?s trainers carries and waves a large Philippine flag. ?I would like to be the Manny Pacquioa of MMA (mixed martial arts),? said Vera in a previous interview with th...

Tim Sylvia Says He’s Back and Brandon Vera is in the Way - UFC 77 EPSN Vi
2007-10-16 13:23:00 Tim Sylvia talks about his fight against Randy Couture. He states that he was shocked that Randy challenged him. They were friends, he didn’t expect that. Tim said in went into the fight with an injury and Randy went into the fight with a game plan. To fake the leg kick that Randy always threw did when they trained together and throw an overhand right instead. Tim talks about Brandon Vera. He thinks that Brandon is good, but not as good as he thinks. He states that Brandon has not had the opportunity to face up against someone of the caliber of Tim Sylvia, he doesn’t know what he’s getting into.
Rich Franklin Betting Odds - Too Good To Pass Up
2007-10-10 16:41:00 Alright I've put my bet in today. I had been considering a bet on Silva if his odds improved, but the money is still floating his way at most books. Today Bookmaker posted odds of +185 for Rich Franklin.It's just too good of a value for me to pass up. Franklin is a very smart fighter training with an excellent team and he will definitely have an effective game plan ready for this fight. His probability of winning is much better than the 35% chance Bookmaker is listing him at. For insight into those odds here's a CBSSPORTS article discussing rematches at length (Thanks Ufcmania for spotting this one)The other line I'm keeping an eye on is a chalk bet on Brandon Vera. The odds tightened up by about 10 points this week with Vera currently sitting at -175. I would prefer to enter this one around -150, but I'll likely bite at -165. This is another fight I'm really looking forward to both of these fighters have a lot on the line and questions to answer.**update Bradon Vera's odds h...
UFC 77 Preview: Sylvia-Vera Serves As Tantalizing Precursor To Main Event
2007-10-02 22:49:00 For as much hype as is swirling around Silva-Franklin (as well there should be), there is equally little being dedicated to the next most important fight on the card, Sylvia-Vera. Sylvia is still reeling from his loss to Couture while Vera is undefeated and on the fast track to a title shot. With Cro Cop's loss and Nogueira's less than stellar performance (and even worse promoting), this looks to be the bout which will feed the fans their new #1 contender. Of course, nothing has been announced (expect that at the post-conference), but I can't imagine anything else happening.If Sylvia wins (which he isn't "supposed" to, just like Jardine and Forrest weren't "supposed" to), the fans will have to deal with Couture-Sylvia II. If Sylvia were to pull that off, it would be just about the worst thing that could happen to the UFC's Heavyweight division. Right now, Dana White only has two marketable champs, and he doesn't need that knocked down to two. In fact, I would be comfort...
