    You'd think Guida would be slated for the live show, as popular as he is. Hopefully he gets a quick win and it makes the broadcast.

    The was pretty good card the fights were not much in terms of entertainment. Dos Sanots continues to impress me and Vera continues to disappoint me.

    I think you need to not think about Vera losing, but about how Jones won the fight. He got robbed in his last fight vs. Hamill. This fight he was dominating Vera.

    That elbow probably broke Vera's Orbital socket. I guess Bones was obsessed w/ Vera. Bones Jones is for real & will terrorize the LHW division for a while!!!

    Vera underachieving isn't news. Jones earned that win, though. Really talented and presents problems for a lot of people at 205.

    Same as Dos Santos at HW. He's got to be in the Title Shot discussion, I'd think. Maybe Lesnar fights winner of Mir/Carwin, then the winner of that defends against the winner of Dos Santos/Velasquez?

    I agree what you say about Dos Santos. The guy is a straight beast. He gave up weight to Gonzaga, but he put that fool to sleep. I hate to say it, but it appears that Gonzaga is just a gate keeper for the HW division :eek: Beat him, then you go to the top of the contender list. Not careful, he will deal w/ you.

    Well Gonzaga was just dumb when he got knocked out. He was too close to Dos Santos, threw a kick, and put his hands down, and left a wide open hole for Dos Santos to throw a power punch to his chin.

    I agree with you though that Gonzaga is a HW gatekeeper, like Kongo.
