I give up on Vera

That's it, i wash my hands off him. Dude has got no fighting spirit left.

Fuck, i would have probably been more active off my back than he was and that slapping in the 3rd was just shameful. I've never given up on a fighter before, but this was just too much...

For those of you who are just giving up on Vera now, what the hell took you so long? What has he done in the past... oh, say 5 years, to make anyone think he had any fight left in him?

For a guy who doesn't like getting punched in the face, he sure lets it happen a lot without offering any resistance.

I wouldn't be surprised if dana had handed him his walking papers in the dressing room last night after that. What is it 3 in a row now, tow of them in humiliating fashion?

Anyways, Thiago looked like a beast last night. WAY thicker, I think he's set to go on a streak.

Yea anyone else think Thiago might be one of the bigger or at least stronger LHW's? I mean he's not Bader and probably slightly smaller than Forrest but I would guess he might be stronger now.

He has gotten huge since the Rashad fight. And the scariest looking guy in MMA has gotten about 10x scarier looking.

I was thinking that myself, he's definitely thicker than forest, might be surprised if you saw him and bader next to each other, because he looked friggin huge last night. Not just his arms, but his whole frame. He probably put on a good 20lbs of muscle at least.

I have given up on Vera ever since the Jardine fight. He has so much talent, yet has no heart or will to fight.

Fuck him. He got totally raped. He needs to go away. Dude is just the shits nowadays.

He is defiantly taller than Bader is and honestly if that improves his takedowns which it seemed to he is in some good shape at LHW where His top game is better than almost everyones bottom game.

Yeah he's disappointed me a lot lately as well but I def think he won the Randy fight. Other than that no excuse from him.

I thought he was doing pretty well in the stand up but once on the ground Thaigo's top game was way to powerful for Vera. He just couldn't do anything.
