    Although he does not look like the force he was 3-4 years ago, I'm still impressed with him especially for the fact that he beat Frank Mir and quite easily.

    I don't know what went wrong but I think he could show much more than what he displayed losing to Keith Jardine.

    Who do you think is the right aim for Vera?

    IMO, either the winner of Liddell-Rua or Franklin-Silva.

    stick it out at LHW. he is doing fine, his only really disappointing defeat is against Jardine.

    I just dont think hes agressive enough sometimes it kinda seems like hes thinking to much and planing every shot or combo instead of fighting instinctivly. That said hes still a heck of a fighter nothing wrong with his losses at Heavyweight to Sylvia and Werdum those men are just to big for him. He looked pretty agianst Patt id like to see him in with a tougher fight maybe like a UFN main event vs say Matt Hamil or even a Steve Cantwell.

    Disappointing only because people love to underrate Jardine.

    a loss to Jardine is not a very disappointing loss IMO. he is a tough as hell competitor he just never has consistency.

    That's the thing with Keith. Against any elite it's a toss up. He's never a guaranteed winner or loser.
