However, White seems to have already defined when the challenger will come out to face the winner of Jon Jones, current champion, and Dan Henderson, who will face each other at UFC 151, on September 1st.

The president declared that the winner of the fight between Shogun and Vera will be the challenger for the light heavyweight division title and was full of praise for the athletes, including placing the Brazilian as one of the best fighters of the decade.

“It’s a question of opportunities. Brandon has fought a lot of good guys, and now he will have the opportunity to face one of the best fighters of this decade. Whoever wins should have a chance at the title,” said White.
