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

boxingcar · 06-21-2007, 10:48 PM

“I’m not afraid of any of them. And that goes for Chuck Liddell, Quinton Jackson, Tito Ortiz and anyone else in the lightheavyweight division. I’m more well-rounded than all of them. I’ve still got holes in my game. The only guy who doesn’t is Fedor. But Irvin and I are working on it, fixing my flaws, hunting for his. It’s almost programmed, playing out as planned. I’ll be ready in 2008. And when Fedor slips, I’ll be there.”

– Undefeated UFC heavyweight star Brandon Vera — who has not fought inside the Octagon since late 2006 because of contract and management issues — is quoted on ABS-CBNNews.com as saying that he’s a more well-rounded fighter than some of the best in the sport … except for PRIDE FC Heavyweight Champion Fedor Emelianenko

Jesus... the dude fought 8 fights and already eyeballing Fedor. What an idiot. Concentrate on getting your fuckin contract straight and building up your record against someone who's not gatekeepers...

I hope he gets knocked out like CC, just to shut him up.

oblate · 06-21-2007, 11:09 PM

yea and while fedor is slipping he will be throwing a punch that knocks him out.

Nuke · 06-22-2007, 01:46 AM

Yea when he slips he will be there setting down Fedors bags and helping him get up asking him politely to watch out for the black ice.

Thats not the point...

chill out man. i was addressing oblate's opinion. because i think he misunderstood vera. i too think that vera's miles awaysn from being anything in the ufc.

scurlaruntings · 06-22-2007, 06:51 AM

Vera`s got skills theres no questioning that.But the guys arrogance gets on my nerves. Everyone needs self belief but his is just pure arrogance.If he wants to showcase his talent come back to the UFC and make a diffrence at 205 or heavyweight and well reserve our judgement then.As for now all his blowing is hot air.

I can't really picture Vera beating Fedor, I posted a fairly big list of guys I think could win a fight if everything went right for them, but Vera just seems like the perfect matchup for Fedor to run through.

Yup, he doesn't have the size and strength to give Fedor problems, and he's good at everything but not great anything. Basically a smaller, weaker, less experienced, and less talented Fedor.

The only few who can beat Fedor is Barnett and Gonzaga!

achillesthegreat · 06-22-2007, 09:16 AM

I want to see this guy fight. His comments are ballsy and honest.

Gonzaga?

Based on one fight, which wouldnt go the way it did 9 times out of 10! Youre getting carried away just like Vera with Gonzaga mate!

BewareofDawg · 06-22-2007, 01:30 PM

Gonzaga has been so grossly overrated over one fight it is silly.

Watch what Couture does to him....then we'll see if you'll still pick him to beat FEDOR.
