Silva dominated Vera throughout most of the fight and many critics are saying that Vera didn't even seem bothered by the loss. 

Vera was pinned on the cage for the final three minutes of the fight by Silva, who just pelted his face with punches and open-handed slaps, and even appeared to be playing with Vera at times when he did some light drumming on his upper back. 

In this photo from Yahoo Sports, Vera's injury can be seen from the side as Silva just goes in for another punch and ends up breaking Vera's nose. 

The results look pretty bad - Vera's nose is almost completely caved in on one side he's going to need some serious readjustment. 

What did you think of the Silva and Vera fight? Is Vera's career over?
