I'm not opposed to Vera i actually kinda like him. But if he is half the fighter some of you guys on this board are hoping and praying he is...i'd say in all honesty it'll be just enough to make Tim actually do more than Jab and he'll put Vera to sleep.
Like it or not... Sylvia walks through the HW devision just as he has thus far...boring (i agree the last 2 fights have been for certain.) but decisive wins none the less on every account, exciting fights included.
Sylvia wins by Nite-Nite. And i think AA comes back with the thunder in #4.
Vera is good this will be a great test for him. Win or lose UFC has to do something witht he HW devision, Vera, Sylvia, Arlovski... ahem... then what?
But it doesn't stop there... all Devisions need some Pride contenders... money money money! We know it's being made...time to pay some fighters...

Vera is the fighter most of his think he is, ADCC credentials, very good Muay thai background, and a brown belt in BJJ he is what people say he is.. a great fighter, better standup then Tim Sylvia may ever have.

Sorry for the double post.
I agree that TUF helps MMA as a whole. Don't get me wrong. It needs as much exposure as possible. What I was complaining about was the quality of fighters they have used and the method in which they hype these guys and implement them. I mean shit, they offer one a contract and then we have to watch all of the other ones fight on the under cards over and over against the prior seasons' not so lucky or not so skilled participants. BOO to Dana White for not implementing a better system for giving us quality fights. I mean hell, you pay the main event fighter and one other fighter per event and all the others make 5000? Come on at 39.95 a pop I think they can do a little better.

I agree with the comments about the HW division's issues...they definitely need AE, and a few other guys to keep in interesting, even if the UFC can pull off a few more months with just Vera/Sylvia and Vera/AA.
I'm actually OK with the LHW division at present...Chuck'll KO Tito, but you've got a wealth of, certainly green but talented, new guys looking to prove themselves. Jardine, Griffin, Evans, Bisping all COULD (I'm not guaranteeing anything here!) have bright futures in the sport. After a while, however, that division could resemble the present HW and will be in dire need of some shuffling
