It's nice to see the return of Brandon "The Truth" Vera. The real Brandon "The Truth" Vera I mean. The one that entered the UFC as a heaping mass of Muay Thai aggression. He's looked sluggish and sloppy since his fight against Tim Sylvia, so it's nice to see him looking like his old form. Yeah, it was against somebody who probably shouldn't have been in the Octagon with him, but Vera looked sharp, he looked focus, and best of all he looked aggressive. He's said that he's rediscovered his love of fighting, so let's hope we see him continue doing what he did at UFC 96: kicking people so hard they decide they'd rather lie on their back in pain than stand up.
