LONDON – Brad Pickett seemed to be heading toward a win over Marlon Vera in what he promised would be the final fight of his career. Then with a little more than a minute left in the fight, a head kick from Vera (9-3-1 MMA, 3-2 UFC) put Pickett (25-14 MMA, 5-9 UFC) on his back, and a couple follow-up hammerfists finished the job. At the 3:50 mark of Round 3, referee Grant Waterman stepped in to call it off, much to the dismay of the departing Pickett. The 140-pound catchweight bout was part of the main card of today’s UFC Fight Night 107 event at The O2 in London
