Earlier we reported that Fabricio Werdum would get a title shot against Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. That is not the case anymore. It seems like Fabricio Werdum (10-3-1) will have to settle for Brendon Vera (8-1). Both are scheduled to fight at UFC 85 on Saturday, June 7 at the O2 Arena in London according to TheFightNetwork.

Brandon Vera recently has lost to Tim Sylvia via unanimous decision at UFC 77: “Hostile Territory”. It was his first loss in his career. Fabricio Werdum is coming off a surprising win over Gabriel Gonzaga.

This is an exciting match up and a good start to UFC 85.
