Thiago Silva vs Brandon Vera

Thiago would beat Vera incredibly easily he's too good and should be considered quickly for a rematch with Machida, depending on the outcome of the Shogun fight. Vera I agree however could one day be brought up for a title shot, maybe he should be tested against Jardine or Shogun if he loses to Lyoto.

??????? seriously why is Silva so good??? jardine is the best person hes EVER beaten and Jardine is garbage!... you cant say someone is good untill he actually beats a top contender which he hasnt.. Vera has been there done that.. Vera would out class Silva in my opinion.. his fight with Krzysztof Soszynski showed he STILL has his great technical striking... counting out Vera vs Silva is completely foolish.. should be other way around..

Vera vs Silva would be an interesting fight but i think Vera needs another win before that fight becomes a possibility id like to see Silva vs Shogun whether it for the title or not.

 

thing is LHW is so stacked i can think of 100 great fights at 205.. Vera vs T.Silva.. A.Silva vs Shogun.. Rampage vs Machida.. A.silva vs Rampage.. Jones Vs Bader..Little N0G vs Ortiz... i mean the range of fights we could create is amazing..

Vera wasn't impressive against Soszynski, and Soszynski is probably not far below Jardine. Jardine could give Vera a decent fight (didn't say he would win, but would def compete). Silva destroyed Jardine. All of this equals Silva tearing up Vera, and probably pretty quickly. He's tougher than Soszynski, who Vera beat by being technical and would not have finished even if the fight went ten rounds, and Silva would finish Vera quickly. Probably will be the next fight in line for him due to the way other figths are scheduled, but Vera is just a stepping stone for Silva to keep on climbing until the right matchup presents itself, and I would bet that within 2 or 3 fights he's fighting for the belt again...

I think this fight could make sence for two reasons. 1) Silva needs to win at least three fights before he rematches Machida, assuming Lyoto remain champ. Jardine was a legit contender fight, so you give him a match like Vera, which he SHOULD win, and if he creams Vera then you give him a BIG challange, like Rampage, Evans, Rua, or Forrest. 2) Is you are right, Veras looking to make a name for himself, and a win over Silva would do so. He looked unimpressive against Soszynski, but that may just have been due to Soszynski's toughness/good chin.

 

The awesome thing about 205 is you can almost roll the dice and come up with great match-ups.

If you think Vera didn't look impressive in his fight vs Krystoff you should get a new title for this forum like "Noob Member". He completely dominated and picked apart a very legit opponent, not sure what more you want, a KO you say? Well learn about the technicalities of the sport, his victory to me is much more impressive than a quick KO like T.Silva on Jardine, Houston Alexander also KO'd Jardine in similar fashion and he sucks ****.

Jardine DID fight Vera and Keith DID win. Thiago destroyed Jardine...

 

Vera looked alright against Soszynski, he sorta picked him apart, but nothing that made you say wow, he whipped his ****. Also, he did not even come close to finishing that fight, Vera does not have enough power in his hands to KO anyone. He needs to use Knees or kicks, and for some reason he did not do much of that in this fight.

Completely agree. And Vera is only going to get better.

not saying this doesnt make sense.. BUT following this logic you mean to say that... since Jardine ran through Forrest.. and Forrest beat Rampage that Jardine should run through Rampage?? well he lost to rampage.. Fights cant be predicted in that way... styles match up in certain ways.. also i think you guys are giving to much credit to Silva.. untill he faces and beats a top 5 i wont have to much hype on him.. his only face off with a tough opponent before jardine ended in him getting KO'd.. not saying hes not a good fighter but not championship worthy just yet..
