What's up with this guy? when is he fighting again? he had a crazy buzz about him after he won the wec tournament and was rumored to be on tuf 2 ...why hasn't the UFC put him in their heavey of lhweight division yet? anyone got the inside scoop??
very tough and will be alot of trouble for anyone.. look out for him
vera's a great fighter and person, big things for him in the future, ttt
i heard he was supposed to be in tuf2 but had a knee injury...maybe Eli replaced him
i heard all good things about him, looking forward to him fighting in the ufc hopefully.
knee injury
knee is fine
wasnt for tuf
He was injured but would have done the show but the contract was really constrictive.........hopefully Dana will wake up and give him a shot.....PS he would have murdered all HW's on TUF and actually has already beat up a few...
so what the hell is dana waiting on if vera is healthy. sign him already!!! they desperately need an up and coming heaveyweight star besides anyone on tuf.
He's healthy, he competed in the IGJJF about two weeks ago. I heard he's going to be in the UFC soon, but not sure if as a heavyweight or a light heavyweight.
how many dudes in this sport really make more than 10k a fight?
from the salaries they show after each ufc ...the tuf winners have been making about 15- 18 grand i think .... i'm sure the salary must go up w/ each win and sponsorship money has to increase from the publicity, xyience and what not... that's a better deal than most other fighters are getting. i want to see Vera tear people up in the ufc.
I used to wrestle with Brandon on the USAF team. He looks like he is on his game.
I tried to get our Hwy against him at the last WEC Fabiano Sherner who is 6-1 but couldn't get the fight.

TTT for Brandon making it to the big show.
Lol at like 30k a year... It has been widely reported that the 3 year deal is for 350k. That's 116k a year. Plus it looks like they get something like 12k to fight, 12k to win..

Hey everyone… I'm here in Virginia right now just hearing about this
post. Thanks to the people that know me and are supportive of what I
do and my decisions. This thing we call MMA, NHB, Vale Tudo, is my
business. I treat it accordingly. I would have liked to be on the show
TUF2, but, the contract wasn't right… for me. I would have liked to
fight in the K-1 tournament in Vegas, but, I couldn't see a contract till
I got there. Would you sign something on the spot? I don't have too. I
work about 4 hrs a day and make enough to be able to afford a 500k+
house. My fight resume is pretty legit too. About as well rounded as
any fighter out there now. (Not by just going on what's on Sherdog.) If
I have to post everything I will. Lemme know.
Someone posted on here I'm scared to Get KO'd by Lavar Big Johnson…
Obviously a nut RIDER….., but, a legit one. Lavars good, no if's and's
or but's about it. I am always scared to get KO'd that's why I train the
way I do. But, being a punk bitch is not what I'm about. I compiled a
list of 4 people for Scott Adams to get me a fight with in the Oct show.
I'm not gonna call anyone out (not my style) just the first letter of the
guys names…. 1.L 2.M 3.C 4.R…. All of them said no… So, I just keep
training. The reason why I made a list:
A certain someone (high on the MMA food chain) watched tapes of me
and said I need to fight someone BIG then we'll talk. I've seen fans
tear into fighters that have a winning record over people that have a
combined record of 10-21 or something like that, if you think the fans
are rough…That's ammo the promoters will shoot at you till your dead.
It's all business for me and now it seems like I'm stuck in Limbo. I
have to do this or I don't' get in, sign this contract or don't get in, fight
this guy or don't get in. I love to fight, I love to put on a show. I'm not
a crack whore giving away $10 BJ's. I'm NOT asking for 5k a fight or
more; sponsors, or any of that jazz. I already have my sponsors. I just
want what's fair. Makes sense? I hope not I'm not coming off as a S*it
talker, that's not my intent. BUT, Pls don't take my kindness and soft
spoken words as weakness, I will rain on your a*s if need be.
ICEE it's good to hear from you man. As far as your fighter is
concerned, I never heard his name till now. YOU know me better than
that.
Holla at me on this thread if we have anything to discuss, I'm here in
VA training with Fowler, and Parham so, I'll be on a couple of times a
day. Hope everyone the best.
Vera
