("How old are you again, Brandon? I lost count.") It's hard to imagine at this point in his career, but there was a time not too long ago that
Brandon Vera was knocking on the door of a heavyweight title shot. Consecutive losses to
Tim Sylvia and
Fabricio Werdum quickly squashed this notion, and perhaps
in an attempt to save his career, Vera dropped to light heavyweight. The results thus far have been nothing short of disastrous. Since dropping to 205, Vera: 1. Scored a weak UD over
Reese Andy in his debut at UFN 14 2. Was made
Keith Jardine's personal whipping boy at UFC 89 3. Was nearly bear hugged to death by
Randy Couture at UFC 105 4. Had his face ground into a fine powder by
Jon Jones at UFC Live 1 5. Suffered the second most embarrassing loss in UFC history* when
Thiago Silva used him as his personal set of bongos before treating
his face like that of a three dollar hooker at UFC 125. But hey, the fight was changed to a no-contest, so that's something, right? 6.
Had his arm broken by a guy he was supposed to destroy at UFC 137.
*We all know the most embarrassing loss in UFC History will always belong to Matt Lindland Regardless of his track record, it looks like Vera will be getting yet another chance to silence his naysayers when he takes on the heavy-handed James Te Huna at UFC on FUEL 4 in July.
