when did randy controlled the fight?? can somebody pls telle me?? he is trying to take vera down but vera defended himself very well. so again, where in the fight did randy controlled it??

[TWinCombatSports]

couture had vera pushed up against cage for most of the fight. neither fighter did much in that position...that being said, because couture had the dominate position, couture was given that points and the rounds. vera may have defended the takedown, but he did not do much to change the position and be in the dominate position. that was the difference in this fight.

This is the most affordable product a new cable affiliate can broadcast. Below this, NFL tape, Demolition Derby, I Love Lucy. The novelty of watching someone get their brains beaten out passes quickly. On Demand carriers find programming like this a tough sell. Those that would watch such an event are not the same market that would pay to view them. The affiliates know this has a limited shelf life and virtually no syndication value. This dies a natural death. They're canceled.

[TWinCombatSports]

the shows you mention do help new cable affiliates just starting out, but there is one show you missed. Pro Wrestling. Pro Wrestling will always draw viewers and I would guess is more dangerous than boxing and MMA combined. There are not many old former pro wrestlers. You still have not answered my email in regard to debating this issue on Shambala Sports Radio. And take my video off your channel.

Bottom line: Randy did no damage to Vera. Randy was unable to take vera down. Vera nearly knocked Randy out. Vera got dominant top position on Randy numerous times. Randy was able to hold on for dear life, and neutralize Brandon's superior offensive skills.

In between getting his ass beat, Randy was able to push Vera into the fence for long periods of time. What fight did you nuthuggers see (I am also a hugger....)

[superfightersperson]

Brandon Vera completed the only takedown in the ifght, and nearly knocked Randy out. I am a Randy fan, but this fight makes me question the integrity of UFC. Randy held on for dear life the entire fight, and was lucky he was able to "clinch" to save his life. Randy stalled the whole fight and did NO damage.

[borjyboy]

dominate is an over statement, randy didn't create much damage on that position, he has his goal which is to take it to the ground and was unsuccessful, didn't it say that in almost every sport, defense is very important or defense wins championships?coming in the fight everybody knows randy's gameplan, why not score round 1&2 for very good defense.

you have to say very good defense by vera, because that is randy trying to take him down. he did take him down once but vera got out in an instant

[pbuttandjam]

Nice show, thanks. One of my favorite fighters is Nick Diaz, but i haven't heard anything about him lately. Has anyone heard anything about him?

[IFlick]

What about the association you make with MMA and boxing? As if through training, MMA fighters are impervious to the type of injuries we've discussed. You'll agree that losing three of these fights under any circumstance, they shouldn't be in it. Or certainly two by knockout. I will delete your video when it's replaced by another installment of "This Week In Combat Sports" It's become an intrical part of my analysis. I intend to bludgeon you with some of it on SS radio.
