Josh Gross at Sherdog mentioned that Brandon Vera's last fight under contract with the UFC will most likely be against "Irish" Jake O'Brien, the 'Lay and Pray' expert who "dominated" Heath Herring at Ultimate Fight Night on January 25th 2007.
What a slap in the face to Vera, the guy was being built up to be the next heavyweight champion and then a contract dispute happens, along with the signing of Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic, and now he gets to fight a chump as his UFC farewell present. Hopefully Vera signs with PRIDE.
In other news it looks like Cro Cop will be fighting Gabriel Gonzaga at UFC 70 in England on April 21. Gonzaga is decent but come on, he's no Minotauro. This fight will last about as long as the Sanchez bout.
