The UFC has officially requested approval for a June 19 event at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.
As MMAjunkie.com first reported in January, the
card is expected to serve as the live finale of “The Ultimate Fighter
11,” and a formal request for the date will now be considered by the
Nevada State Athletic Commission on March 17.
The process is generally a mere formality for the UFC, who have
successfully promoted several events under the NSAC’s supervision.

Four years ago, Brandon Vera (11-4 MMA, 7-4 UFC) was the new kid on the block that everyone talked about.

At 32, Vera remembers being in that position and liked the pressure it
brought. And while he knows can’t get that time back, he’s trying to go
