UFC light-heavyweight Brandon Vera (15-4) headlines the UFC’s first event on the Versus network against opponent Jon Jones (9-1) on March 20th in Broomfield, Colorado at the “UFC LIVE: Vera vs. Jones” event.

Vera had a chance to talk with MMAWeekly.com about his opponent and how he thinks the fight will end.

“We’re going to bang man. I don’t think he’ll take me to the ground,” Vera commented about Jones. “He’s with a new camp, he’s with (Greg) Jackson’s and them. They’re good game plan people so he might try to take me to the ground, but I tell you this much in 2010, my jiu-jitsu game I’ve been tightening back up.

“Jones, he’s got the skills; he’ll stand with me. Somebody’s going to go to sleep.”
