Despite being a huge underdog, Brandon Vera came to fight against Mauricio “Shogun” Rua in the main event of UFC on FOX 4. Unfortunately he didn’t have enough to beat Shogun and ended up losing via TKO in the 4th round.
Unfortunately Rua’s performance wasn’t enough to earn him a crack at the 205lbs title, as Lyoto Machida proved to be more impressive with his KO victory over Ryan Bader. The question now is, does Rua have what it takes to be on top of the light heavyweight division?
