I suspect the next one will be worse. There are no stars and news one are not stepping up. I have seen better fights on HDNet and WEC. As a premiere organization the UFC should only have the best, and they should fight all the time. The rest belong in the WEC.

UFC 79 will suck aside from watching Chuck get retired. But I really don't want to see the guy get beat up. I want to see how Wand performs.

Was it simply the huge disparity in size? Would you say that Vera has an inside shot if there's a rematch(which I doubt there would be, the bout sounded like a snoozer)?

Did Vera look like he belonged in the ring with Sylvia?

Vera decisively won round 2 and I fealt he squeeked out round 1 as well. That said, he was a dead heep in the 3rd so its hard to defend the performance. Sylvia basically leaned on him all through round 1 but really did nothing effective; Vera was being active, but it was difficult for him to mount an effective offense when pinned against the cage. Vera also had a takedown in that round.

In the second, Vera landed some nice shots, including a really good kick to the body which created a loud smack. Vera also landed an illegal knee to the head in the round as Sylvia scrambled to his feet, which Sylvia milked for all he could.

Vera showed he belonged, but his inability to finish strong was what costed him. Tim's leaning on him probably wore him down a bit though.

i would have a lot more respect for tim if he fought most of the fight like the last 15 seconds. instead, like u said pushed him against the cage and stood there...if he was doing damage and hurting vera, i would understand...but he wasnt. i do think vera's hand played somewhat of a roll in why he wasnt so agressive. shouldv'e used his leg kicks more. i garantee that was tims plan--get him against the cage/ avoid the kicks/ and get the decision. totally agree with what u said

I thought Vera won rounds 1 and 2...but yeah they were very close rounds. I don't know how those judges scores them. Tim used his size but Vera was connecting (not by much) so I don't know how the judges felt about that. Round 3 was one sided in favor of Tim. It should have been a draw at least in my opinion.

I had it 29-28, Sylvia, the guy’s smart, that’s why he’s a two time champ.

UFC 77 was a solid PPV. All the fights were entertaining.

Oh and Sylvia owned Brandon Vera.

If you actually watched the ****ing fight, you'd clearly see that Vera would throw a sissy combo with terrible defense and would lock up on Sylvia. Everytime Sylvia threw a combo, Vera would get scared and lock up.

if owned to you means holding someone for 3 rounds then your retarded. Sylvia threw furries just to get Vera duckin until he got him against the fence, after that it turned back into a borefest your boi timmy always seems to put on. UFC 77 was good but not great.

oh and I actually watched the "****ing fight" I watch all the ppv's.

Wasn't it Randy Couture who said "Tim has no idea why he's a champion!"

I guess he's implying that Tim has no real skill to brag about other than his size and retard strength.

I had sylvia a clear winner, no way did Vera do enough to win that fight. Tim did more work in the last min of round 3 than Vera did all night.

I had it 29-28 for Sylvia but a case could even be made for 30-28.

Haha I actually agree with you about Tim being a Dick but it's not because Hughes was cheering for him. Sylvia thinks he is the greatest fighter in the world and always has excuses when he loses or his fights go the distance.
