"Honestly, Tim Sylvia summed it up best. He was whipping Nog's ass the first 10 minutes, then all of a sudden Nogueira wins. Nog's a soldier...He's the guy that would jump on a grenade in war and then put his guts back together and go shoot them up. You really have to fight Nog, fight to finish him, but fight smart. His MMA jiu-jitsu is so well rounded and so good. It's hard to do."
-- Brandon Vera , complimenting the UFC Heavyweight Champion and potential rival. Vera fights Fabricio Werdum for the possible number one contender spot this Saturday at UFC 85.
