man how good is bones jones eh?? he put vera on his ass like he was nothing! he was able to do to vera (twice in a few minutes) what couture couldn't in 3 rounds. altho it's worth noting that couture doesn't utilize judo throws. btw dana white said it would be another year before bones jones got a title shot, so there are still a lot of LHW for him to face. couture and silva would be my top picks for now since it's unlikely he'd fight sugar rashad.

 

JDS over nepau seemed pretty predictable though. his takedown defense is still suspect though imo and against someone like cain he could really be exposed in the wrestling dept. but we'll see.

[riceb0i]

Though I want to see a JDS vs Cain match, I think Cigano has proven he is deserving of a title shot...

 

Bones vs Thiago silva next perhaps??

yes sir Thiago Silva VS Bones Jones will be fireworks!

 

It's not a fractured orbital but it's just as bad for Brandon Vera..

 

Brandon Vera suffers three facial fractures

too bad for Brandon... buti sa mukha ko bumuka lang sa sugat & walang fracture, yung sa kanya basag na buto sa mukha ouch!

[Guest megalodon]

Too bad Brandon lost. Jones has been running roughshod over high-caliber opponents like Hamill and Vera. It's about time he gets a shot at The Dragon.

[El Chapo]

too early for title shot, he should face thiago silva first or randy or maybe forest

Though Bones is proving he is Legit, He should still face top 5 caliber guys since IMHO, Hamill and Vera are but gatekeepers in the LHW division... Thiago Silva and Ryan Bader would make good opponents and a good test if Bones is already top 5 caliber

[Griswold]

wow. newbie here and im surprised there are lots of MMA fans here. also a martial arts practioner and enthusiast here guys. hope im welcome here.

 

they should give Thiago to Jones IMO.

[Brownman]

can't wait for GSP and Hardy this weekend...rest of fight card looks promising as well

[JustSmile=)]

Duane Ludwig will also be out for up to 6 months due to the injury below. HOLY CRAP!! Not as bad as the Corey Hill injury though..

Don't look if ur gushy, his skull can actually be seen.. WTF!!

[paupawie]

sad that brandon lost..but...it's like he's on a losing slump. hope he can continue....

 

ufc 111 is only a few days away...any predictions?

 

for a change, i want dan hardy to win. but gsp is what they say 'the complete fighter'..let's see....

 

...and on the co-main event, i want frank mir to win..so that he and brock will face again...

[The_Blade]

dont you think jone's elbow strike is illegal?

[anatoly]

dont you think jone's elbow strike is illegal?

how do you figure that?? the only illegal elbow strike is the 12 to 6 (12 o'clock to 6 o'clock as jones did against hamill) and i'm pretty sure the elbow that vera absorbed was not of that manner. but anyway i think all elbow strikes should be legal. an elbow is an elbow and i'm not quite convinced that a 12-6 elbow strike is more dangerous than any other type of elbow strike.

too bad vera lost, bawi na lang si truth..

 

mir and gsp to win on mar28

[Igniz]

GSP and Mir din ang pick ko sa Sunday

 

baka alisin na si vera sa UFC, puro talo na eh

Well that is always a possibility especially if he has been receiving offers from other lesser known promotions. but hey the old Pride FC kept Gary 'Big Daddy' Goodridge for a while even though he was obviously on the decline because they needed a gatekeeper.

 

I'm still prayin he gets out of his current slump though he is our countryman after all and the more pinoys in the greatest MMA organization in the world certainly the better.

[Brownman]

now that Brandon lost a few hopefully he'll get back to his old aggressive ways...wala ng mawawala

Japanese promotions (and fans) look at fighters differently... They always look for those who have the "samurai spirit"

 

now that Brandon lost a few hopefully he'll get back to his old aggressive ways...wala ng mawawala

 

He needs a major overhaul in his training.. He needs better training partners and coaches... ( Training with Wand, Tompkins or Sityodtong may be a good move for him)

[Igniz]

buti pa si Mark Munoz eh kasama sa training si Noguiera

[El Chapo]

^

yep matindi yung camp ni Munoz kaya kahit pangit start nya sa UFC nagimprove sya sa last 2 fights, at nasa main card na sya ngayon hehe

 

====

pick ko sa sunday GSP and Mirr, pero matutuwa ako pag napatulog ni Carwin si Mirr

[theluffy99]

badtrip napanood ko si vera he sucks dapat syang magka muscle la kalaman laman...sana manalo si mirr..teka ano pong nangyari kay brock idol ko pa naman un

[anatoly]

Vera Undergoes Surgery Thursday, No Sparring for 4-6 Months

 

 

Brandon Vera will undergo facial surgery on Thursday evening to correct a dislocated cheekbone incurred in his first-round defeat to Jon Jones at UFC on Versus 1 last Sunday, said his manager Matt Stansell.

 

In the light heavyweight bout, Jones took Vera down two times, then landed a left elbow directly to Vera’s face. The 32-year-old fighter spun to his knees for cover, as referee Herb Dean stepped in to halt the bout.

 

“It broke his cheekbone in three places and it’s sort of floating right now,” said Stansell on Thursday. “(The bone) is kind of laying on the muscle of the right eye, which is preventing Brandon from looking to his right, and it’s pushing his eyeball forward.”

 

Stansell said two plates will be inserted during the surgery to secure the bone back in place. Vera, who hails from his own Alliance Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif., hopes to return to grappling training in six to eight weeks. Stansell estimated it could take anywhere between four to six months before Vera will be medically cleared to spar again, though that timetable is determinant on the fighter’s recovery.

 

Stansell said Vera, a noted muay Thai stylist in the 205-pound ranks, is in positive spirits and anxious to return to competition as soon as he is cleared to.

 

“Brandon told the doctor to do whatever he needed to get him back in the cage as fast as he could,” said Stansell. “I’ve never seen him so motivated to get back to training and fighting before.”

 

Vera, who’s fought for the promotion since 2005, has been defeated in his last two Octagon appearances. After a strong four-fight start, he is now 7-5 for the promotion. Vera has at least three fights remaining on his current UFC contract, said a source.

[ray004]

with 3 remaining fights on his UFC contract, brandon should fix his training regiment. he should think that his current training is not at par anymore with the best fighters out there. this is very evident in his last fights

[The_Blade]

i hope somebody will break jones elbow! it is getting so fatal... brandon actually has that chance if not because of the illegal upkick. tsk tsk should have been back to stand up after a point deduction.

2 oras na lang at UFC 111 na, go GSP!!!!
