Jon Jones, they say, is the future.

In that, there is a lesson to be learned. It is a title that was once bestowed upon his “UFC on Versus” opponent, Brandon Vera, after Vera burst upon the scene smashing everything in his path and proclaiming his intent on becoming the first UFC fighter to simultaneously hold the light-heavyweight and heavyweight championship belts. Yet now, here Vera stands a loser of four of his last seven fights, and facing the possibility of a must-win situation.

Opportunities can come quickly in MMA. They can end just as fast. With the benefit of some age and maturity, Vera knows that now, and that at 32, his chances of fulfilling his promise are running low. This bout against Jones gives him his best chance of reigniting his career.
