After the defeat to Fabricio Werdum at UFC-85, American Brandon Vera does not leave the microphones with controversial statements. After questioning the referee's interruption in the fight against the Brazilian, Vera dropped down a category and refused a fight against Lyoto Machida, at UFN-14, next Saturday, the 19th, claiming that he would need time to prepare. Now, the fighter claims that Dan Henderson, Wanderlei Silva and Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou were offered as opponents and he accepted, but none of them agreed to fight.
“They offered me for UFN 14 Dan Henderson, Wanderlei Silva, Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou, Lyoto Machida and then Reese Andy. I refused Machida. He's not a guy you can face in a short amount of time. You need to prepare for Machida.
The other fighters refused to fight me, so all that was left was Reese.”
