It was a little disappointing to see how "The Truth" performed in his last fight against Thiago Silva at UFC 125 as he was brutally punished round after round. Vera was not too aggressive enough to throw some vicious punches and kicks though he was able to hit Silva a couple of times. In fact he was able to land a kick on the body that beat Thiago down but somehow threw away the opportunity by just celebrating and raising his hands instead of pounding the dude on the floor to pull a win. Vera is known for his sadistic body kicks but what he did at that fight was too lame for a brawny fighter like Silva that pinned him in almost every corner of the octagon. Silva even kind of insulted Vera during the 3rd by slapping him on the face and then giving him some wicked punches at the final seconds of the 3rd that broke Vera's nose. Brandon suffered a major injury from his last fight against Jon Jones and had surgery to fix his broken face. He is definitely going back to his surgeon again to fix his nose this time.
