Brandon Vera received more than a bruised ego on Sunday at the 1STBANK Center in Broomfield, Colo.; a fearsome elbow strike from opponent Jon Jones left the UFC light heavyweight with facial fractures and an unknown return date.
In the night’s Versus-televised main event, Jones landed the blow as he postured up in Vera’s guard midway through the first round. Vera rolled to his side in visible pain when the shot slammed into the right side of his face near his eye socket.
The strike caused three fractures in Vera’s right cheekbone, the fighter’s manager, Matt Stansell, today told MMAjunkie.com.
