On a UFC 74 conference call, UFC President Dana White confirmed Brandon Vera will return before the end of 2007 and his opponent will be former UFC Heavyweight Champion Tim Sylvia.
Brandon Vera last fought at UFC 65 November 18, 2006, beating former UFC Heavyweight Champion Frank Mir by TKO in the first round.
Just a month later, Vera attended the inaugural press conference of promoter Gary Shaw's EliteXC MMA promotion. At the time, Vera had just one fight left on his UFC contract and told the press his future was with "whoever wants to take care of me the best."
After that ExliteXC appearance and subsequent layoff from competition, rumors swirled that Vera was being punished by Dana White. Thursday (August 16th), White told the media that wasn't true. White said Vera's layoff was caused by Vera's management change.
Indeed, Brandon Vera is no longer managed by Mark Dion, nor does he train at City Boxing in San Diego, California, Dion's gym. Vera is starting a new gym in San Diego called Alliance MMA.
White also confirmed that Vera has signed a new contract with the UFC, but couldn't recall how many fights are included. White also couldn't confirm the date of Vera's return to the Octagon to fight Tim Syvlia.
Tim Syliva last fought at UFC 68 March 3, 2007, losing his UFC Heavyweight Title to Randy Couture. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
It will be interesting to say the least.

I can confirm that Vera has been gone from Dion's City Boxing for months now. And he made the EliteXC appearance to support fellow City Boxing fighter, KJ Noons. Vera was still with Dion and City Boxing at the time.
Vera is a really nice guy, and I wish he had a shot a Sylvia before his contract mess went down, with the UFC heavy weight division all of a sudden so stacked and all. Still, I hope to see him as a champ some day.
Vera's return to the UFC has all ready been confirmed.

Yeah, I believed you the first time you said it To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
But he definitely had a much better shot at the title before all of the Pride guys came over.
I hope Vera gives the big goon a solid leg kick, because to me it always looks like that is all it would take to bring him down, he has skinny awkward legs.
