Having been definitively defeated by Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira in his most recent heavyweight bout, Randy Couture dropped down to light heavyweight for a UFC 105 duel with Brandon Vera. An impressive performance for Couture would have positioned The Natural for a shot at Lyoto Machida’s title, while a Vera victory would have fueled The Truth’s momentum as he seeks to recapture the hype of his early UFC days. Who won?
Further, who won the Welterweight contest between Mike Swick and Dan Hardy to secure a shot at GSP’s Championship?

brandon vera is the WINNER!kamote na mga judgest yan..
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!
yeahhhhh
