Was Brandon Vera the best technical striker of UFCs lhw divsion?

[CereserBr]

Brandon really gave anybody he faced big problems on the stand up department... He even almost finished Couture with a body kick... I think he and probably Machida were the best strikers in the division.

 

[KB Warrior]

K-1 Cummins

 

[Dead Kennedy]

Dude we all know it's Keith Jardine, don't lie.

 

[Johnsonville]

I think so. Guy just couldn't put it all together it was strange.

Brandon "the lie" vera




No not so much

 

[Mixfight]

He was technical for sure but calling him "THE MOST TECHNICAL EVER" would be a stretch.

He looked super promising in 2006 when he was kicking the shit out of HWs with relative ease. Then started believing in his own hype and hit a plateau.

The Frank Mir curse is real.

 

[No Mas McGee]

Any of the Gracies could be considered K1 legends...said no one ever

 

[xterm11]

Brandon was super talented but struggled to pull the trigger after his contract dispute. He was at his best in years when he fought Shogun and gave him a hell of a fight.

That and he was lighting up TRT Rothwell pretty good in the first two rounds when Ben suddenly had the gas tank of a flyweight (never showed that before TRT) and stopped Brandon

Brandon Vera was never the best anything at 205.

Lol----brsndon wasn't the best at anything but being overrated.

 

[silvasurfer5253]

He had trouble striking anything that was moving. He was great on pads and a heavy bag.

Hes ONE FC HW champ, maybe the UFC will re-sign him

 

[Noah]

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

[Jim Cozad Jr.]
