LAS VEGAS — Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: Fighter wins a few fights, gets a big head, makes grand proclamations, struggles and falls to the back of the line.
It’s the exact storyline of Brandon Vera‘s UFC career, an athlete who found immediate success, voiced a desire to win two belts at the same time, and yet today, finds himself fighting simply to keep his job.
Vera has no problem identifying his rock-bottom moment. It came in March, against rising star Jon Jones. Vera found himself on his back, with Jones looking to work him over.
We’ll let Vera tell the story from there.
