UFC 164 Brandon Vera Vs Ben Rothwell

In a return to his original division Brandon Vera is welcomed back by BIG Ben Rothwell.
A feeling out process from the giants started it off with a hand full of engaging strickes creating a an 'awe' inspiring affect from the crowd with the feeling some 1 was going to sleep in this 1.
Circling well Rothwell kept tight closed fists, Vera had strong cardio landing clean an jerk to the jaw of big Ben without hesitation to the pressure of Rothwell.

Round 2 first glimpse statements where Vera's cardio advantage would soon come in to play,
Initially wasn't the case as Rothwell slugged Vera against the fence mid way through the round.
Landing the occasional strike with very phew combinations was enough to produce a one sided view for big Ben.

Round 3 gave extra evidence that a speed advantage was ineffective for Vera, with his power unable to make a strong impact on Rothwell.
Rothwell found elusive rythm pacing down on Vera 2 minutes into the 3rd attacking at worlds end with a flury of lefts and right, a final BIG knee sending Vera to cover up into a shell with herb dean intervening.
