Tim Sylvia W 3 (split) Brandon Vera

Size does matter.  Vera, giving away 32 lbs, fought on even terms with Sylvia through two rounds (Sylvia had just a 43-36 edge in total strikes landed thru two rounds), but was unable to hurt the former two-time UFC heavyweight champ.  With the fight in the balance, Sylvia let his hands go in round three, landing 50 of 100 total strikes, including 42 of 82 arm strikes vs. the now worn-down Vera, who landed just 14 of 23 total strikes in the pivotal third round.  Vera won round two on all cards after Sylvia swept round one.
