The Blueprint: Vera vs Jones

Michael DiSanto, UFC – Succinctly stated, Brandon Vera versus Jon Jones is going to be one heck of a scrap. Vera is a guy who likes to fight on the feet with calculated pressure, picking his spots from the outside as he breaks down an opponent with long-range punches and some of the best leg [...]

Land of the Giants 2.0

UFC 108 Musings

Michael DiSanto, UFC – The UFC 108 main event between Rashad Evans and Thiago Silva didn’t have the expected fireworks because Evans completely neutralized a very tough, highly skilled Silva for two and a half rounds.

The Blueprint: Thiago Silva

Michael DiSanto, UFC – There are only a few things in life that are certain: death, taxes and Evans-Silva ending inside the distance.
