UFC 102 – Brandon Vera Vs. Krzysztof Soszynski preview

August 27, 2009 · Posted in MMA, Sport, UFC

Vera V Soszynski looks to be one of the potential fights of UFC 102, both fighters are on the way up.

Vera has had an indifferent time since dropping down from heavyweight. He beat kick boxer Michael Patt at UFC 96, but lost a match against co main event Keith Jardine, but has the quality to beat anyone as he displayed at heavyweight, beating former champ Frank Mir. His record stands at 10 and 3.

Soszynski has had a really impressive start in the UFC, is 3 and 0, with latest win over Andre Gusmao at UFC 98. Although his overall record is 18-8-1. His submissions and striking is something to be wary of.

It appears i’m one of the only Brandon Vera fans left but this guy has unbeliveable ability and should put the Polish/Canadian out. I think we should see the best of Brandon, being back to his deadly strikes including his knees and kicks. Vera has also expressed a desire to fight returning former champ Tito Ortiz.

Think this will be a tight first round with Vera keeping Soszynski away with kicks and then attacking in the second round. With the submission history Vera might not want to get too close but his ground game has not been tested fully for quite a while!
