Now you have 2 who could potentially collide if both Nogueira and Werdum win their next fight is all you can ask for from a listless heavyweight division. Give me a Shoto Boxe guy anyday.

Just a tought to ponder, and I realize I am exagerating a bit.

Dude you are so right. Let's ponder the heavy weight division in the UFC. Who do you have? Gabriel Gonzaga on a one win streak (Justin McCully) Cheick Kongo lost his last fight (Heath Herring) Fabricio Werdum won last two (Gonzaga, Vera) Shane Carwin won last two (Wellisch, Carlton Jones) Jones win in 2006 Mark Coleman (ummm....we all know this situation here) Antoni Hardonk won last two (Sanchez, Colin Robinson) Heath Herring one win streak (Kongo) Brock Lesnar (blah blah we'll see) Justin McCully lost his last fight (Gonzaga) Brad Morris lost his last and only UFC fight (Velasquez) Frank Mir won last two (Lesnar, Hardonk) Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira won last two (Sylvia, Herring) Jake O'Brien lost his last two (Velasquez, Arlovski) Eddie Sanchez lost his last fight (Hardonk) Cain Velasquez won his last two (O'Brien, Morris) Christian Wellisch lost his last fight (Carwin) Take your pick of who gets the shot. Not a whole lot of decisiveness there in that division. batman, The Heavyweights that fought on the Affliction card are Affliction's Heavyweight roster. Mike C.

Vera dropped to lhw, where he has more of a future, but Werdum now gets knocked for the stoppage. One more thing, that stoppage was probably as bad for Werdum as it was for Vera, maybe even worse.

Say what you will about Werdum being deserving or not, but who deserves it more? And what match up would be more interesting than 2 of the best bjj adapted to mma guys?

I would have hated to see him leave to Affliction and get paid $600,000 for a fight.

Vera had no answer to the mount and wasn't strong enough to buck him off. He also stopped Gonzaga. So he had 2 top wins against ranked competition. And both were very convincing.
