On the Main event, Michael “The Count” Bisping will have the home court advantage as he fights Chris “The Crippler” Leben.  Also, Keith “The Dean of Mean” Jardine (13-5-1) seeks redemption in his Light Heavyweight battle versus Brandon “the Truth” Vera (9-2-0).

The 31-year-old Brandon Vera’s last fight this past July 2008 was with Reese Andy and then right now, he is fighting The Dean of Mean. He has something to prove.

“I’ve never told anybody this, but, I’d been treating this whole thing as kind of a hobby,” says Vera from his training camp in Camp Springs, Maryland. “The best quote I heard was, ‘If you treat business as a hobby, it’s going to pay you like a hobby—but if you treat your business as a business, it’s going to pay you like a business.’ I’d been treating it as a hobby. I wasn’t treating myself as a professional fighter.’”

“It was a couple of things,” Vera says. “One was the fight with Reese Andy. That fight sucked, man. And the second was when Dana White asked me in the press conference ‘where’s that kid at? Where’s that bastard? I want that guy back!’ And I went home, and I sat there and thought about it. Yeah, I won, but it was a [crappy] win, it wasn’t like I could be happy and could go out partying. It was like an epiphany.”(Chuck Mindenhall, UFC)
