  • Jon Jones vs Brandon Vera for the UFC versus debut!

    This should be a good fight!!!

    An intriguing matchup between UFC light heavyweights Jon Jones (9-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) and Brandon Vera (11-4 MMA, 7-4 UFC) may headline the promotion's first live fight card on Versus.

    And while MMAjunkie.com (UFC blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps | MMAjunkie.com) was originally told Vera's Tuesday night Twitter message was issued with an improper date, those same sources now say "The Truth" was dead on.

    Jones and Vera have verbally agreed to meet on March 21 in an unannounced event that's planned as the UFC's first live event with its new broadcast partner, Versus.

    News of the Versus broadcast was first reported by Sherdog.com, and MMAjunkie.com has since verified the plans with sources close to the network.

    Vera had been targeted for a UFC 109 fight with Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, but an injury to "Little Nog" left him without an opponent. While the pay-per-view slot has yet to be filled for the Feb. 6 event, Vera will now move on to fight Jones at the new event.

    Both Jones and Vera look to recover from losses, though both fighters have reason to feel a little bitter about their most recent results.

    Jones seeks to bounce back from a disqualification loss to Matt Hamill at The Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale card just 10 days ago. Despite the loss due to a series of illegal "12-to-6" elbow strikes, "Bones" impressed most MMA observers by his one-sided domination of "The Hammer" before the stoppage.

    The loss was the first of the 22-year-old's career, thought Jones' management team has since vowed to protest the results in hopes of an overturned decision.

    Meanwhile, Vera seeks to rebound from a hotly contested loss to MMA legend Randy Couture in the main event of November's "UFC 105: Couture vs. Vera" event in the U.K. "The Truth" fell short in what many MMA observers viewed as a controversial result that night, but a win over fast-rising prospect Jones would undoubtedly secure his place in the 205-pound pecking order.

    Vera briefly posted notice of the matchup on his Twitter account late Tuesday night, though the message has since been removed.

    Now that ive watched a few matt hamill fights i'll admit jones picked him apart and hamil isnt that good imo. But jones did screw up but I hope this fight works out, I thinks its a good match up for vera.
