every singld thing that they have said is saying how brandon is so much better and is so good... is it just me?
nope... I thought the same thing...
This is the new status quo for any undercard fight where you have one obviously marketable guy versus, well, a fighter like Soszynski. Even if it is really close, like it was tonight (round two was a textbook 10-10) they just keep rolling like the money fighter is on another level. Near the end of the third Vera whiffs on a kick and takes a decent shot right on the chin, and they just ignore it.
Guys like Jim Lampley might be dicks, but at least they call it straight. UFC's promotional schtick has really infected every aspect of the televised product, the commentary is no exception
It was a obvious they wanted Vera to win. They made it seem like a beat down. Vera did enough to win rounds one and three, while round two was close. But, in no way did Vera beat him down.
They were on his nuts alright. The experiment really isn't a good fighter either in my opinion.
Goldberg is horrible.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Vera was such a destroyer earlier on. I think his hands are still fucked up from his fight from timmay.
MAybe it makes him tenative.
Vera was clearly the better fighter, they called it right. Vera not pushing to finish may push him to the undercard.
Vera won...but in doing so he proved clearly that he will never ever hold EITHER of the two belts that he thinks he will win.
Lyoto would KILL him, Anderson Silva would destroy him and Brock Lesnar may actually splatter him.

That was some shameless nuthuggery.
I thought Vera was technically better and edged The Polish Experiment out clearly but Vera needs to up his aggression 10 fold; seems like his recent fights are lackluster including tonight due to lack of aggression.
