Vera vs. Jones Official for UFC Fight Night 21
The rumors and speculations have now finally come to an end! The UFC authorities have made it official that a Light Heavyweight match will be taking place at UFC Fight Night 21 between Brandon Vera and Jon Jones. The show is scheduled to take place on March 21 in Broomfield, Colorado. This heavily rumored matchup was first reported in last December as the probable main event of UFC’s first live card on Versus. But for several reasons, that didn’t take place. It, however, was made official during the broadcast of “WEC 46: Varner vs. Henderson” event on Sunday.
Since Zuffa purchased the fight promotion in 2001, UFC Fight Night 21 will be the brand’s second trip to the Denver area and both Vera and Jones are looking forward to prove their worth once again since their recent losses inside the octagon. Vera was recently defeated by the five time UFC champion Randy Couture in UFC 105 that took place in Manchester, England. Jones recently was highly criticized for his unsporting attitude. He faced a major career setback last December when he was disqualified after throwing several illegal “12-to-6” elbows on his opponent Matt Hamill. Jones’ camp protested against the move but Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) overruled their plea. UFC has signed a multi-year contract with Versus and the rand is expected to organize at least two live card events on the cable channel.
