Not only did he not learn not to self-proclaim himself a double-division threat anymore he does it AGAIN after A LOSS.

He has one good fight (which he LOST) in a million years and "The Truth" is back in full form (at least verbally).

Wow. Just ... wow!

p.s. Pat Barry ROCKS!! AGAIN!!!

Pat always acts like what I imagine he would be like if you were just hanging out with him. He's hilarious but not in a way that he's trying to be funny. Nothing worse than a guy spouting off bits with a "please like me attitude" but awesomeness really just seems like it comes naturally to HD.

Also, whatever the **** Vera is smoking could knock even the great Joe Rogan flat on his ass. How the **** can you become so ****y after losing a fight? I hope he gets someone along the lines of Manuwa next so he can get some perspective knocked into him.

Despite some the odd one sided beat down here and there, I've always liked Vera. He might have a lot of (possibly misplaced) confidence in himself but he isn't trying to be a complete ********* about it.
He has a few losses on his resume that I'm sure he would love to go back and make amends for (Jardine mainly, he was kinda robbed against Couture).
Apart from that he lost to Shogun, Jones, Timmeh (not prime Tim, but not exactly the awful Tim) and Werdum - we can't count Thiago as he was radioactive at the time.

Will Brandon ever hold a belt in the UFC? Not a chance, but he is a good gatekeeper.

I don't mind confidence (what is a fighter without confidence in himself?) and I don't even mind if he really believes what he said, but please, at least win a fight before you start saying it out loud (even then I wouldn't if I were him, but it would at least be somewhat excusable) ... and do yourself a favour, don't go bi-divisional again ... he's barely a LHW gatekeeper, he has no business even looking at the HW division in a funny way.

Yeah, fighters will say crazy **** - I guess it's a consequence of being hit on the head for a living? :)

I think if your goal is to be the LHW and HW champ at the same time while the guy that demolished your face with one elbow is taking his good sweet time about moving up to a division that he'd be comfortable in then you need to seriously sort out your priorities.

Vera is insulting everyone's intelligence by trying to talk his way into relevancy again. He's going to be 36 later this year and hasn't won a fight since 2011. It takes Vera about year in between fights too which I really don't understand. I think Jon Jones may have done some permanent damage to his noggin.

It's just him keeping confidence in himself, as a fighter he's trained to believe that with enough work he can beat anyone regardless of what has happened in the past.

Let the guy be confident. I enjoy watching Vera and honestly I thought he was done fighting having not heard anything about him until a couple days ago.. Happy he's back and motivated.
