Hope the old Vera shows up otherwise Jones will walk all over him.

if Vera does that 'pick my shots' kinda lackluster, un-aggressive performance he showed in his fight with Randy Couture (and at times during his fight with Krystoff), Bones Jones is gonna destroy him... Bones is one of those guys I believe who really has something special 'talent-wise' and given the time and training he's a LHW champion in the making.

i agree completely. talent wise jones is up there, not to mention he's pure class. but what intrigues me about this fight is the wrestling aspect of it. we all saw how bones jones threw around the likes of bonnar, o'brien, hamill like they were nothing, so i'd like to see how easily he is able to do the same to vera. but then again vera showed excellent wrestling against couture so we'll just have to wait and see. i would think vera has the edge in the standup dept. though.

Sad to say Vera has very low chance of winning, Bones is training in Greg Jackson's Camp >.<

you make it sound like it's an automatic win just because bones is trained by greg jackson. sure they say greg jackson is among the best coaches out there, but to say jones is gonna win because he's under greg jackson is just silly.

[Olympus]

Its MMA guys, you never know what will happen and as proven, though he is a very good strategist, Greg Jackson's guys have also had their own setbacks...

[Lagnonector]

why did you say it was a fake choke boss? ever been caught in a Brabo choke?

para kang ninakawan ng baga at tinurukan ng hangin sa ulo.. LOL

 

 

as for the topic.. any news on fedor mga friends??

that's why i said "very low chance" i didn't say it's an automatic win for bones. Imagine talent + skills of bones in no.1 mma camp, it's scary. And judging the last performances of Vera ~.~

Brandon Vera has been in the same situation as Jon Jones is in right now. if the old Vera shows up, then we'd see a fight a la Big Tim VS Brandon Vera (but this time around Sylvia is Brandon Vera)

[El Chapo]

yep hopefully we see the old brandon vera vs jones bones

Yep Brandon definitely does have the advantage in the standup... however his kind of standup might just get him in trouble precisely because of Bones Jones' caliber of wrestling. Brandon likes to throw a lot of kicks and as always these will leave him vulnerable to the takedown. And oh... Matt Hammil might have just come from a division 3 NCAA school but he is still a former national champion wrestler in college and being able to take him down is quite a mean feat in itself.

 

The way I see it Brandon has to do what Chuck Lidell did in his rematch with Randy Couture and that is create angles in the octagon and fire off timely shots with his hands (and maybe with his feet sometimes), hopefully if he does this enough he'll eventually score a KO... 'hopefully' hehe.

Aside from a rumor that he's gonna face Yoshida at his ASTRA retirement show, everybody's still waiting for confirmation if Fedor will fight Werdum on the April 17 Nashville card (alongside Shields vs. Hendo) or, according to his leech manager Vadim, "early in May".

 

As for Vera vs. Jones, of course I'm rooting for Brandon no doubt. The Couture fight showed me hints of what he can do against top level wrestlers (though he wasn't able to pull the trigger, which was the most important thing), and now all he needs to do is to negate Jonny Bones' wild striking style with some old school MT magic.
