I think Vera's ground game is better than Mir's at this point. Mir on the ground is one thing, but Mir on the ground GASED is another. I don't see Mir even getting one of his sloppy takedowns, Vera is just to fast and well rounded for him. The theme of this match is going to be speed kills.

If Vera can't beat Mir, I think that accelerates his drop to LHW. If you can't beat Mir these days, you're pretty much a joke.

Thank you for your insight and spelling, Brandon. Say hello to everyone at City Boxing for me.

My friends brother was on the navy wrestling team and vera was on the air force wrestling team a couple of years back. He said vera's wrestling was insane. And submission wrestling was even better. Id put money that mir in his prime and vera how he is now just coming into his prime vera would dominate Mir in a grappling match.
