Brandon Vera Back to the UFC
Posted by Caleb Newby on 08.15.2007

...and it looks like fans may not have to wait long to see him back in action!

In late 2006 it appeared as though the future of the UFC's Heavyweight Division rested on the shoulders of one man - Brandon Vera. He was an undefeated 29-year old fighter from California who had just TKO'd former UFC Heavyweight Champion Frank Mir in nearly a minute after racking up three wins prior to the bout. Unfortunately, November 2006's UFC 65 was the last time fans saw Vera in action, and he's been sidelined ever since due to a lingering contract dispute. The wait appears to be over!

Earlier today, the UFC announced Vera would be returning to the Octagon and may fight as soon as October (possibly UFC 77 on 10/20 in Cincinatti). There is no word yet on who his next opponent will be. -

ACTUALLY UFC ANNOUNCED IT ALREADY - VERA WILL FIGHT TIM"THE MAINE-IAC" SYLVIA ON UFC 77...

Head honcho Dana White said the following in relation to "The Truth" being set free on the Heavyweight division, a group which has vastly improved since Vera last fought:

"Brandon Vera is a young, well-rounded, exciting heavyweight who finishes fights in exciting fashion. I think he brings a lot to the heavyweight mix, and I see him in a position to fight for the heavyweight title in 2008.

The charasmatic Vera was all smiles in regards to his official return to the UFC. Said Vera:

"I'm so excited to be back in the UFC, I have no words to describe the feeling...I realize the UFC heavyweight division is much stronger now, but I like having more challenges, and that just gives me more motivation to train. I feel that when I'm on top of my game, nobody can beat me. I have a plan to become the heavyweight champion, so I'm going to stick to the plan that my management team NCFC and both of my coaches set and win the titles. I want to prove I'm the best for my family, my friends and most of all my fans."
