When I first heard about Vera/Rua I was not that excited, but
seeing it paired with a co-main event of Machida/Bader, I’m a little more
thrilled. It’s tough to find anyone in the LHW division that will pose a threat
to current champ Jon Jones; Dan Henderson is going to try, but I am expecting
him to come up short just like everyone else. I would expect the winners of
Rua/Vera and Bader/Machida to meet in a title eliminator, it makes sense. If Vera
can beat Rua and then Machida/Bader an argument could certainly be made that he
is “reborn” and ready for Vera/Jones 2. The same can be said for Bader. Finally
a rubber match between Machida/Rua would have fans salivating, especially with
title implications. Given Jones’s history with all four men any one of the
options would make sense.
