Brandon Vera appeared on Sport Science, (which must have been filmed prior to his face-breaking loss to Jon Jones on March 21 since his mug looks pretty normal) to compare the muay thai kicks of Shogun to the karate kicks of Machida.
The episode is pretty interesting and the results of "The Truth’s" experiment of repeatedly kicking the head off of a crash test dummy revealed a few things.
1. Muay thai kicks are more powerful than karate kicks
2. Karate kicks are faster than muay thai kicks
3. I never want to be at the receiving end of a Vera kick — especially not one to my head or extremely handsome face.

commentsYeah, looking at it like that, I can see why they went with the "one of the UFC's best light heavyweights" line instead. I guess this video shows that sometimes [puts on CSI Miami sunglasses] the truth hurts.
YEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!
I agree with you, he look like he gave it 50% on the karate and 100% on muay thai. You could tell by the way he threw the kicks and the velocity he threw them in.
An opponent Vera can finish.
Congrats you got the joke.
@KimboSlice
Second.
@Mike Russell
Machida needs orbital bone surgery and I hope he does not have to go back and forth.....I'm perfectly fine with Vera being out for a while on the other hand.
lol I saw that no one had commented, so I made the first comment, but changed it because people frown upon that here (as do I, but I just never had the opportunity to do it haha).
@Mike
Dang he's still having surgery? It kind of makes you sad, yet at the same time not because of his blaccent, which i'm pretty sure everyone can agree upon here is annoying.
