Every time I see Brandon Vera's name I laugh. I had a dream that I was a MMA fighter and he hated me and wanted to fight me, so we got it going with Dana. He hated me because I was banging a girl he liked, which happens to be an ex of mine hahaha. It was funny.

This is his last fight at 205 for now. He is conceding the division to Lyoto Machida since he is a fellow countrymen.

Yea, this will probably be his only LHW fight for now...

Hell of team...could possibly have 3 champs at the same time if Machida gets a shot...

He's known as Rafael Feijao sometimes and Rafael Calvancate sometimes. He used to fight in the IFL and is now in EliteXC. I think he just fought either Devin Cole or Wayne Cole, whichever is the big black dude and the not the out of shape white guy.

-Frankie Edgar vs. Hermes Franca: wow great performance by Edgar
-Brandon Vera vs. Reese Andy: Vera could have finished this so many times but looked scared almost. he'll be back. kind of reminded me when Swick dropped to 170.
-Anthony Johnson vs. Kevin Burns: Bullshit call. Johnson was dominated. should have been a DQ win for Anthony. my bet is it will be changed to a NC by next week. but what a class act johnson is.
-Jake O'Brien vs. Cain Velasquez: wow i think it was a combination of cain being a beast and O'Brein being a pud. the LnP couldnt do it today.
-Brad Blackburn vs. James Giboo: havnt seen it

I dont care if that fight goes to a no contest or a DQ win for Johnson, but if that dosent get changed I will be pissed. Dude swings with his hands out every time, and got warned for it. He did it again and somehow gets rewarded with a TKO? Anyway, Anthony Johnson really made me proud when he didnt argue or seem mad at all. Can you imagine how big of a deal Vera would of made that?

Im guessing im the only person that thinks GSP and penn could take it to silva at a MW bout. Heck even Wandy, Shogun, and co. no one is unbeatable right now. execpt for maybe fedor at HW. Silva may have cleaned out the middleweight division but he still has alot of work to do to be deemed unbeatable.

Silva may have cleaned out the middleweight division but he still has alot of work to do to be deemed unbeatable.Nobody is unbeatable. Its just fighters like Silva and Fedor are so skilled and more importantly, smart, that nobody is able to. I think he said at one point he and Wandy would never fight because they trained togather, but recently I think he change his wording to...Maybe one day. I think GSP versus Silva would be one hell of a fight!

I don't get how the hell that would be called a KO. Mazzagatti is a complete idiot. I mean, you warned the guy multiple times during the fight about eye poking and then call it a KO? How many people have you heard scream like that during a KO? Not only that, but he had the chance to walk over to Mazzagatti after the stoppage. It's not like Mazzagatti couldn't have changed the initial ruling 30 seconds after he saw Johnson. Complete and utter stupidity. Hopefully the fight gets overturned. It should have stopped, but should have gone to the score cards.

Anthony Johnson deserves a bonus for not being a jackass about the call.
