Brandon Vera ‘s long and often-tumultuous run in the UFC has come to an end. For now, anyway. The organization has severed ties the veteran heavyweight and light heavyweight after a 16-fight, nine-year run, FOXSports.com first reported. Vera (12-7 MMA, 8-7 UFC), 36, ended his long UFC run on a 1-4 skid (with one no-contest), which included a loss to heavyweight Ben Rothwell in his final bout, which came in August at UFC 164. The heavyweight bout followed a nine-fight run at light heavyweight, where Vera fought (but lost to) notables such as Randy Couture, Jon Jones and Mauricio “Shogun” Rua
