* UFC Live: Vera vs. Jones

03.21.10 1st Bank Center Colorado

Watched the co-main event fight and I can say Junior Dos Santos is one of the strong heayweight's now when he stopped Gabriel Gonzaga in the 1st round countering Gonzaga's trademark kick with a punch.

I am a Vera supporter and it's kinda sad he lost two straight now, and he was hit hard by an elbow in the face and then the stoppage of the fight against Jon Jones.
