    I have personally seen these two in person. In fact Ortiz I saw recently in Vegas during the UFC PPV that Vera participated in. I saw Ortiz at a club in Vegas called "TAO" he actually took a picture with my friend. I don't know much about Ortiz's background prior to being a UFC fighter, but if Tito and Brandon were to stand next to each other it would look like a big linebacker next to a big WR. Vera has alot of grappling experience, I think alot of people will be in for a surprise if he actually has to go to the ground in a UFC event. Going back to Ortiz I know just basing on his appearance he is definitely without a doubt heavily on 'roids (which is cheating). Vera looks au natural, he looks very slim for a guy who is 6'2 220.

    Striking skills - Vera

    Pro fighting experience - Ortiz

    Strength - Ortiz

    Grappling skills - Don't know
    Good assesment man. I never really heard about Brandon before until I was invited to the Lidel/Randy fight. I saw the tats on his back and figured out he was Pinoy.

      Not a good match-up...

      Tito is ancient history and Vera is well-known....

        Great observation, bro. He must be a prouder Pinoy than Pacquiao is, knowing the ancient Philippine roots and all.

        I just watched his last fight against Justin Eilers, the commentators are already labeling him "the George St. Pierre of the heavyweight division" and "The next big thing, can't miss fighter".

            Trust me, that's how respected Georges St. Pierre is despite his very young age, he is the ultimate truth IMO. I know you're just being sarcastic but if you don't know who GSP is, then you don't know MMA at all

                    Honestly I'm being serious when I posted that question and obviously I don't know much about MMA, Hence That's why I asked the question.

                      I could've sworn they mentioned that he teaches in the east coast
