Re: UFC Live: Vera vs. Jones (Mar. 21st) Look at the fights on this card... all four are set to be slug fests. Jones won't let Vera be lackadaisical... dos Santos is reliable... Kongo and Buentello will be a stand up war with Buentello's legs getting kicked off, probably... and Sakara/Irvin is 100% slobberknocker. Great card. Supposing the fourth fight is Sakara vs. Irvin which I think it should be.
Re: UFC Live: Vera vs. Jones (Mar. 21st) Julio Paulino in for Rob Kimmons. These days it seems the UFC needs fighters on standby for every event.
Re: UFC Live: Vera vs. Jones (Mar. 21st) The top two fights are fantastic. Here's to hoping they happen (knock on wood).
Re: UFC Live: Vera vs. Jones (Mar. 21st) As expected the slugfest between James Irvin & Alessio Sakara will open the show. Hopefully it is one of those fights that pans out, not one where two guys don't take risks for fear of losing on TV.
Re: UFC Live: Vera vs. Jones (Mar. 21st) be patient, he still has plenty of time to trip and hurt himself before this fight
Re: UFC Live: Vera vs. Jones (Mar. 21st) if he doesn't physically hurt himself before the fight he'll probably end up failing the post fight drug test.
Re: UFC Live: Vera vs. Jones (Mar. 21st) So excited for tonight, big time fights. Wish UFC would do this more often and show more shows free. (even championship fights) Anyways here are my winners Brandon Vera vs. Jon Jones Junior dos Santos vs. Gabriel Gonzaga Cheick Kongo vs. Paul Buentello James Irvin vs. Alessio Sakara Also Guida to win with KO.
Re: UFC Live: Vera vs. Jones (Mar. 21st) I got Jones, JDS, Kongo (But rootin' for Paul of course) aaaand Sakara because I don't think Skellator will have any strength left
Re: UFC Live: Vera vs. Jones (Mar. 21st) I found it hard to go with Irvin after seeing the weigh in photos he just does not look healthy
Re: UFC Live: Vera vs. Jones (Mar. 21st) Jones looked good, for a second I thought he looked less aggressive after Vera's illegal upkick but then he landed that nasty elbow and you could just see Vera cover his face and start to turtle. That elbow was right on point and sooo fast, combined with his takedowns that kind of ground and pound makes him so dangerous.
Re: UFC Live: Vera vs. Jones (Mar. 21st) Jones is an explosive guy and still learning. The fact that he's at Jackson's camp will only make him better and better.
Re: UFC Live: Vera vs. Jones (Mar. 21st) in a unique turn of events, the UFC has handed out 3 KO of the night bonuses, one sub of the night bonus and no fight of the night bonus. Earning $50,000 bonuses were John Jones, Junior Dos Santos and John Howard for their vicious KO's. Earning sub of the night was Clay Guida.
Re: UFC Live: Vera vs. Jones (Mar. 21st) Jones looked good. JDS looked good. Rather boring night of fights, though.
Re: UFC Live: Vera vs. Jones (Mar. 21st) all the injury/accident stoppages kinda killed the momentum. Kongo not standing with Buentello sucked too. How the heck can Paul not have better take down D?
