Brandon Vera vs Jon Jones UFC LIVE Betting OddsAfter starting his career 6-0 in the UFC, Brandon Vera hit a rough stretch, losing three of his next four fights to Tim Sylvia, Fabricio Werdum and Keith Jardine. But The Truth bounced back nicely from the wall he hit, with a TKO win over Michael Patt and a unanimous decision victory against Krzysztof Soszynski.

In position once again for perhaps a title-shot in his nears future, Vera was defeated by the legendary, Randy Couture in a questionable unanimous decision at UFC 105. Nevertheless, the Norfolk, Virginia-native took the experience of losing to Captain America and grew from it. “After fighting Randy, I’ve learned so much it’s like I skipped two grades,” Vera said.

Now, Vera faces a youngster that shares the same type of hype he did when he first burst onto the UFC. “He’s regarded as this super-prospect and he’s just been blowing through guys,” said the Muay Thai specialist. “It’s hard not to be impressed with what he shows you. He pulls off things you don’t see too many guys do.”

Jones comes in pretty much undefeated in the UFC, after getting his first loss via disqualification at the TUF 10 Finale. Dominating the fight, Jones was literally destroying Matt Hamill and was in a very dominant position to finish the fight in the very first round. While tearing up The Hammer’s face, with vicious GNP from the mount, Jones was called for throwing illegal (downward) elbows.

And just like that, Bones was handed his first career-defeat and Hamill was bailed out before really getting hurt. “I've heard so many times that when you lose, you come back a better, stronger person,” Jones said after the fight. “Everything happens for a reason.”

Jones has managed to stay humble and focused on the task at hand during his first 4 UFC fights. So, don’t expect any of that to change now says Bones.  

“Fans or the media may think, ‘Oh, this is an easy fight’ or ‘That is an easy fight,’ but if you fight for a living, you know there’s no such thing as an easy fight,” said the 22-year-old from Rochester, NY. “So I just don’t pay attention to it. I know how hard I train and I know how much I push myself.

“I’ve never taken anyone lightly and I will never be affected by (the hype). Even before I started in the UFC, a lot of people were hyping me. I was in a small circuit in the Northeast and a lot of people were talking about me. It’s nice, but to tell you the truth, I’m so obsessed with getting better that I hardly notice it.”
