"When Fedor slips, I'll be there" Brandon Vera

He needs to chill out. His biggest win is over a fat 1 legged Frank Mir.

 

He hasn't fought anyone of note at heavyweight either. Mir and Silva is not exactly worth a lot in your resume when you wanna start eyeing dominant greatness. I get the feeling you're Vera's friend or some ****. Or as sherdoggers would say "Vera's ball licker".

 

Are you kidding me? This is probably only the second time that I have ever even discussed Vera on any fight forum, and I have posted on Sherdog since 2002. It seems to me that you are a bit too emotional about these topics. A fighter talks about how he would like to fight all of the best guys in his division, while paying respect to Fedor by saying tha the is the only fighter out there without any holes in his game, and you guys cry like little girls.

I have been involved in MMA since 1999, and you guys honestly act like children. He needs a better resume before he can start eyeballing dominant greatness? Why is that? Obviously you have never competed in your life, because even as you start out in your career any decent coach is going to have you eyeballing being the best in the world from day one. What the hell is the point of being involved in the sport, if you aren't hell bent on being the best? Isn't that what every fighter is supposed to strive for?

I was trying to be polite, but since you decided to take to insults I will tell you what I really think. My guess is that you are an armchair fan who doesn't have any idea what the mentality of a true Champion is supposed be like. You probably sit around on the forums all day long critizing all of the real fighters on everything that they say and do with your left hand, while you are smashing a handful of doritos into your face with your right.

You guys who are acting like Vera has no right to simply strive to be the best in the world are only showing your lack of credentials. As far as Vera goes, I like him and wish him the best of luck. He has always been an extremely talented, and respectful fighter. Always gives his opponents great respect before and after his fights. As far as being anyone's "ball licker", I will leave that childish **** to you little girls who spend 95% of your day on here acting like fighters who's weapon of choice is a keyboard. I am a major fan and competitor in the sport of MMA. I am a fan of just about every fighter out there, outside of some people who I know in the business to be pricks. Yet I am level headed enough to be able to comprehend what Vera said into him wanting to fight the best, realizing that there are still holes in his game, realizing that Fedor is the only fighter out there without holes in his game, and striving to one day be at that mark himself. If there is something wrong with that, then you probably shouldn't bother following the sport.

 

We do seem to have several competitors here at ESB, in boxing, MMA, and even a few in other martial arts. It would be interesting sometime to organize a tournament of sorts, or series of tournaments.

In any event, you have piqued my curiosity. Do you compete as an amateur or a professional? What is your record, if you don't mind my asking?

 

Chill out there, buddy. You're obviously missing the point because you are a fan of Vera's. There's bunch of people here who are telling you that what he said sounded arrogant. If thats not enough for you then just let it be. I'm not gona argue with your hissy fits.

 

Aint that The Truth

 

You went back 4 years and dug that up?????

 

So this is back in the day where Fedor is invincible, Shogun is the GOAT at LHW, Liddell is still around winning, Couture is the HW Champ, and Gonzaga is the only man to defeat Fedor??? My My how the tables have turned.

 

:yep

sometimes this board is so slow the only way you can see new stuff if by checking out the old stuff

 

Classic thread is classic.

 

To be honest I was on his hype train to a certain extent....he did look good , showed he had great standup and a ground game, but after his holdout he came back and got in the ring and really didn't look like he wanted to fight. he now fights to avoid a fight when he is in there.

 

I love the guys who are compared to Fedor after 10-0




Full Disclosure: The Truth is still my backup plan in case smthn happens to Aoki

 

Haters! Veras still in the UFC and still getting his ass kicked.

 

This is a good one. The forums are often susceptible to mass hysteria about fighters. Gives a little perspective to what's being said now.

 

same mass hysteria about the new breeds today. In en years time these new breeds now might be just like Brandon Vera.
