After turning down a Glover Teixeira fight, Shogun Rua will
now headline UFC on Fox 4 against the continuously irrelevant Brandon Vera.
Vera is perhaps best known for using his face as a shield from Jon Jones’s elbows, breaking his orbital bone and baffling experts to this day. The only
reason Vera is in the UFC is because Thiago Silva, Rua’s original opponent,
failed a drug test at the beginning of 2011 causing his win against Vera to be
overturned to a no contest. I can’t even feign interest in this fight. Shogun refused
Glover wanting a “bigger fight” but jumped at Vera. Shogun is a top LHW and
Vera is B-list at best. Glover has a win streak longer than Vera’s career right
now; this is Shogun picking easy street. That being said Shogun wins this fight
anyway he wants, most likely by TKO.
