Brandon Vera Victorious in Debut at Light Heavy
Brandon Vera made his UFC debut at light heavyweight as well Saturday, but his fight didn’t unfold anything like that of his Brazilian counterpart. Vera had a tough time against the gritty Reese Andy, but he won a unanimous decision.
However, the two combatants fought in spurts, and their actions inside the Octagon left much to be desired. By the midway point of the second round, the mostly filled Pearl Concert Theater was littered with boos and jeers as the crowd begged the two to pick up the pace.
In the end, Vera’s speed and overall athleticism paved the way toward victory, 30-27 (twice) and 29-28. He accepted the win, especially since it halted his two-fight losing streak, but he admitted that it wasn’t the best performance of his life.
“The 205 cut was a little bit more tough than I thought,” Vera said afterward with a sigh. “But I’m happy where I’m at. I’ll do whatever the UFC needs me to be at: heavyweight or 205.”

Congrats on the win Brandon! I just read an article about you maybe heading over to ElitE XC. Hopefully you can negotiate and stay with UFC, from what I saw of Elite XC last month, it's a joke. We'll watch regardless. I know you'll do what is in your best interest.

tol, here's a thought... you are one of the priced fighter of P.I. but i think you can be a complete pinoy weapon if you know your own. im talking about kali (escrima, arnis)- the Filipino Martial art. im a student of this glorious art my self and i tell you, ive never been so proud to be pinoy figther. kelangan ko lang i-share ang natatamasa ko na saya sa aking katawan at pagkatao. you once said on one of your interviews, you train under styles of fighting which is hands-down,definitive in its own way, and oviously you do capably on it. but being a classic out side your identity (being pinoy) doesnt discern the boundaries of your realm(fighter). over all your still a person we filipinos should look up to. check ot tags: lsai, leskas, pekiti tersia, balintawak, illustrisimo, doce pares, dog brothers, knife fight, stick fight.

Been hearing a lot of good rumors in the grapevine regarding Brandon moving down to LHW and facing the "Axe Murderer" Wanderlei Silva. Best of all, it will be this coming July 19th. Man, that would really be a dream match. Good enough to rival Affliction's "Banned" on that day. Us Filipinos would certainly love to see that happen.

Brandon got screwed, be that as it may, Brandon should've distanced himself from werdum coz' he was gonna' drop.... it was inevitable. ☺ sumbitch was punch drunk, that's why he didn't want a rematch, coz brandon is pissed!!! ☻

Fallen, do you even understand the game. It's simple, if the fight calls for a clinch, you clinch, if it calls for a takedown, you go for a take down. Brandon is a very intelligent fighter and he knows what he's doing and you, you just gripe to yourself not to the fighter you used to love watching. Take your sour graping elsewhere, this site is for the believers of "The Truth". Non believers are told to fuck off, shame on you. You must not be an authentic Pinoy but a "chicken choking redneck".

I think you need to keep fighting elsewhere and comeback with the vengeance. That's the way to go. I will always be your number one fan!!! YOU ROCK!!!!

Even Joe Rogan knows that the fight was stop prematurely or so early. Werdum is not even landing significant blows to your face. All MMA observers know that it was stopped prematurely. I searched the net about MMA and they agree that the fight should have continued. Horrible Stoppage dude compare it to Kimbos position and the amount of elbows he got from James Thompson not even close. Im a huge fan of the sport and seeing a stoppage like that hurts the MMA world.
bonzwei
June 9, 2008 - 4:42 pm
That Ref Miragliotta sucks 2 bad stoppage in 2 weeks come on... UFC must be thinking twice and Dana must give Brandon a rematch. Werdum now chickened out coz he knows Brandon is the superior fighter and can hold his BJJ. Dana must think twice in giving Fabricio Werdum a title shot coz he knows a controversial win or fight like that doesnt earn anyone a title shot. Dana and Joe Silva may not be the ref or judge but they are the final decision makers and match makers that can make a rematch happend. Werdum vs Nog can be a marketable one but why will you market a fight like that when people knew that Werdum was there because of the stupidity Miragliotta made. Look at Kimbo Slice's fight against James Thompson, in the 2nd round Thompson had a beautiful crucifix position and he was landing huge elbows and significant punches for about 2 mins but Miragliotta did not stop the fight come on man compare the blows of Werdum and Thompson. clearly Thompson made the significant blows to his opponent and Kimbo wasnt even had his hands to protect himself compare it to Brandon which has his hands perfectly protecting himself with unsignificant blows from Werdum.... You Suck DAN MIRAGLIOTTA.... Hey Dana White and Joe Silva think twice in putting Werdum for a title match if the people knew that he is not worthit of it. thats all
bonzwei
June 9, 2008 - 4:24 pm
Dude that was a horrible stoppage. He has had more bad stoppages than any ref I have seen. Keep doing your thing and you will be the HW champ. This will just set up a good rematch. Silva and White are probably excited about this rematch. This may be to your advantage in the future. I know you would have owned him in the second when you start bangin'. Next time let the legs fly as punishment for the disrespect... KEV VA Beach

June 9, 2008 - 12:03 pm
Brandon, I searched out your website just to say I'm sorry about your fight. I was amped to watch you face Werdum, and when you ended up with him on top, I was screaming at the tv. I knew that stupid ref from the kimbo fight was going to fuck up. You were blocking the punches as well as Silva vs. Lutter. Just rediculous. Next time you face him and hurt him, I hope you pounce him and end it.
acuman
June 9, 2008 - 10:39 am
Just watched the post fight interviews and I must admit that it was pretty disappointing. Letting Werdum get to a position where he was 100% in control of the fight with your only hope being that he doesn't finish you or submit you in the next 20 seconds so the bell could save you is not really anyones fault but your own. Always a fan and still a fan but to admit that you were trying to wait out the round with Werdum mounted on top of you and then blame everybody for the loss at the press conference but yourself?

It was too bad the fight got stopped the way it did, keep your head up. Werdum is one of the best out there, can imagine how hard it is to stop a guy with that level of JJ from passing you. Was surprised on how good his takedowns were. No shame in losing to him.

just watched the the replay. 'twas a BS stoppage. the ref isn't that consistent, he allowed kimbo to be pounded for a good minute and a half just by giving a thumbs up sign and yet yours was stopped when you are clearly covering and defending his shots. some say that you could've at least tried to improve your position, but i believe that you are aware of the time and since none of his shots hurt you, you opted to just cover up until the round ends rather than waste your energy and expose yourself to a sub trying to get out of the mount. by the way, i noticed that you got hit at the back of the head three times, did the ref warned werdum about those illegal hits? that ref screwed two fights in two weeks! i still believe you'll become a champion in the future! we'll support you all the way! mabuhay and pinoy!

Ive been following the ufc since the gracie-shamrock days.And Im just very proud to tell you that youv got what it takes!!! Cheer up!That FALLEN gut does not know what he is talking about.He has no MMA knowledge. Mabuhay!!!PACMAN bloods!

BRANDON DO YOU QUESTION YOUR ABILITY TO HANDLE FIGHTERS 30 PLUS POUNDS BIGGER THAN YOU THAT ARE TOP TWENTY FIGHTERS?? DID YOU WATCH THE SYLVIA TAPES DID YOU THINK YOU TURNED YOUR HEAD ALOT WHEN STRIKING? WHAT WILL YOU DO DIFFERENTLY IN FULL GUARD AGAINST LANKY OPPENENTS WHO ARE GOOD AT POSTING UP? EARLY STOPPAGE NO QUESTION I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR VICTORIES OVER TOP FIGHTERS!!!
THINK ABOUT IT
June 8, 2008 - 8:41 pm
It was just a bad call from the ref that's all like youve said werdum is not to be blamed still you are our hero no matter what They can Never put a Good Man down ! We will be waiting for more ! Godspeed!

Don't feel bad Brandon. That was a BS stoppage! I know it would have been a bad ass fight! The ref just didn't know what the hell he was doin'! If the ref wouldn't have messed everything up I know you would've won. It doesn't matter,win or lose, I still love ya and you're still the best!

I think the stoppage was crap, everyone knows you wouldn't give up!!! I think its even bigger crap for Fabricio to agree to a rematch in the ring and then back out at post fight press. Hopefully it works itself out, i know you'll come back stronger.

i feel badly sad for that controversial stoppage brandon, but wla tayo magagawa, minsan may mga aanga angang referee talga na madalas ndi fair ang pag bbigay ng stoppage,dami ako nbkkitang fighter na iniistopage khit capable pari lumaban, but we cant do anything bout it, once it decides then dats it, dbale brandon, im sure it will only make you a better fighter, we're filipino mma fans will stil support you, im sure the brandon vera who used to knock all opponents out will be back! mabuhay ka brandon!

i am very disappointed with the performance. i waited a long time to see you fight again and we only see that kind of performance. you promised all the filipino fans for a good show. you let your fans down. where is the aggressive brandon vera we love for a long time. just clinching and clinching all over fight. worst than brandon we saw on the tim sylvia fight.

He lets Kimbo eat like 100 shots totally undefended, whereas B didn't take half as many shots & was actually covering. I hate to say it but Dan might literally be the worst ref in MMA.

A very questionable Stoppage by Dan Miragliotta and everyone who've seen the fight thinks the same. You really rocked Werdum with your right, you're still the best B!
