Where is Brandon Vera ?

The mods put him in the wasteland.

Actually, I'd like to see him fight some low-tier guys. He can still ruin a few livers imo.

As a fan of T. Silva, I wish he would get his shit together. That win over Nedkov would have done a lot for him. I don't agree that marijuana is a performance enhancer, but that doesn't matter, it's banned. It's a fighter's job to test clean. I wonder who he'll fight when he returns.

As for Vera, a fight with Forrest sounds interesting. Same with Wandy if he loses to Stann.

I agree, the fight probably goes the same! The UFC tried putting this fight together before and it fell through because Vera got injuried. Might as well try again, this time in Brazil.

He didn't beat Couture and got knocked out by Shogun, he gets another chance at due to filling in at the Shogun fight

I believe he had a torn MCL 8 to 12 weeks I think...
Twitter.com/verified somewhere there.

lol. he isn't very good though.. the shogun fight was painful to watch.

He needs to spend less time spouting right wing politics and conspiracies theories on Facebook, and more time working his boxing and hand speed(in my opinion, that's what's holding him back).
If he's lucky the UFC will give him Forrest(the biggest name that he has a hope of beating), or if he's unlucky they'll let one of these young bucks build a name for themselves by beating him up.
It's unfortunate that I sound like a hater, cuz I really was a fan. I still like the Muay Thai/Greco style combo. He just has to make his hands a real threat.

I'd like to see some low level UFC fighters dominate some other smaller shows in they're spare time. It would be a good confidence builder at the least. Am I the only one who feels this way?

You are not alone.
