Brandon Vera Readying for UFC Return

May 18, 2007 6:09 PM Scott White

In a recent interview with MMAWeekly, Brandon Vera, gave fans an update on his training and who he’d like to face when he returns to the UFC octagon.

Brandon said, “I’ve been traveling and training, I just got back from Thailand. I want to be back in August. I’ve been training and my weight is already down to 228. I’m not even training for a fight, but I’m training hard right now.”

“Arlovski, Nogueira, CroCop…especially Chuck [Liddell]. I still want Chuck. I want to fight him before he’s tired of fighting. I want to fight him when he’s still in his prime and he’s still hungry and he’s still hitting people hard. I don’t want to fight him after he’s over the hump,” Vera said.

With that being said I think it’s time for another edition of ‘Rock the Vote’...

Is Vera under a new contract? thought there was problems with that, (maybe that’s why he travled) but i’m prob wrong. I think Vera would be a tough Opp for any of those guys.

There were definitely problems between Vera’s camp and the UFC but Vera addressed them at it looked like they were beginning to work together. Nothing “official” has been stated but Vera of course commented on the situation…
