The winner of Saturday’s UFC on FOX 4 headliner will get a title shot.
Despite both fighters having already suffered losses to reigning light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones – and despite the competitors owning a combined 3-5 record (with one no-contest) in their past nine fights – the winner of Mauricio “Shogun” Rua vs. Brandon Vera will get a shot at the belt.
UFC president Dana White today confirmed the plans.
