i was talking to matto, in refrence to his repeated posts about vera fighting at lhw, which he isn't doing right now. vera definitely has potential, but i think he needs a few more fights before he gets a hw title shot. unfortunately, with ufc's weak hw division, he won't get that and will get his hw shot when he probably won't be ready for it. sure he's looked impressive in his wins in the ufc, but really... fabiano scherner, the over-rated justin eilers, and assuerio silva. there's a steep difference in competition between those three and sylvia, arlovski and even monson. vera's time will come, but he's getting pretty over-hyped because there's no one else in the ufc's hw division.

lol very good point, he hasnt faced a top heavyweight yeat. i dont see why he even in the heavyweight devision, i mean come on do u see the size difficerientaly when he fights them? if he could beat some top heavyweights who knows how bad he could beat the lightheavyweights.

[matto]

does andri even belong to a mma camp? or doesnt he just go to a boxing gym and a jujitsu gym?

AA just boxes. he used to use sick muay thai. his shit fell apart and I think that is hard to argue. sad but true. and I know I'm right too.

Except that Arlovski was on a 6 fight winning streak and generally considered to be the most well-rounded HW in the UFC and talked about as possibly being one of the top HW in the world. All while working out at that 'gay ass' boxing gym.

what the talk about kazuyuki fujita coming to ufc? he's not that great but he has an iron chin! i think he lost to wand recently and lost to fighters like emelianenko and filipovic, but he beat that fucking beast james thompson and he absorbed some big shots before he ko'd him. i think he can whip sylvias ass!

:banghead: He was fighting out of russia when he was on his 6 fight winning streak. He has been at that "gay ass gym" for his last two fights.

do you get my point now?
All Im saying is he needs to find a gym that brings out his talent in mma. a boxing gym obviously is not where it's at.
