Filipino-American mixed martial artist (MMA) Brandon Vera is preparing himself to face a “younger version” of himself in Jon “Bones” Jones as they headline UFC Live: Vera vs Jones on March 21 in Broomfield, Colorado (March 22 in Manila).
The 32-year-old Vera said Jones, who is 10 years his junior, is “dangerous”.
“What Mr. Jones has done to the people he’s been given, he’s been blowin’ into those people… he’s for real,” said the seasoned MMA fighter in a UFC promotional video.
Jones (9 wins, 1 loss) has been on a winning streak in the UFC, compiling 3 victories against Jake O’Brien, Stephen Bonnar and Andre Gusmao.
He, however, was disqualified while punishing Matt Hamill at The Ultimate Fighter® Heavyweights FINALE for two distinct downward elbow strikes.
