Finally, Vera returns to face Tim Sylvia at UFC 77

So much interesting match ups await both the winner, and probably the loser of this fight.  Should be a good one.
Predictions
 40/61

Should be a good test for Vera.  Anyone know how much he signed for?

How so?  I see Vera attacking Tim's legs, using better footwork and cutting angles to get to Tim.  Vera by KO (knees) by the second or third.

I don't know the amount of money, but I think it's a 6 fight extension.

on a side note...i recently watched both Sylvia/Cabbage and Sylvia/Courture...


in the Cabbage fight, Sylvia was much much bigger and muscular.....did he ever get popped by the UFC for gear?

Glad to see Vera back fighting in the UFC, even if he is fighting the Boring Ogre.  ::) Vera has a lot of ability.

So many great potential fights in the LHW and HW divisions now. All the UFC needs is to get Fedor. Apparently Fedor needs to drop the request to be able to fight in sambo matches in Russia so the UFC will sign him.

Vera has an underestimated sub game.  He could do it.
