  1. This fight was similar to the TUF finale fight between Griffin & Bonnar. Randy secured his spot in line for a fight with Machida, as well as Vera (after a great fight against Couture) being well on his way back to his original hype and a very likely threat to the current line up of Couture,Evans,Griffin,Ortiz,and Jackson..There are others, but Vera does rank up there and he displayed as to why he will always be a threat to those…Good job and Great fight to the both of you!
