Brandon Vera vs. Frank Mir In UFC In November?

According to the official website of up-and-coming UFC Heavyweight contender Brandon "The Truth" Vera (brandonvera.com), he will be making his octagon return at the upcoming August 26th event dubbed UFC 62 "Liddell vs. Sobral", which of course features the main event of Chuck Liddell vs. Renato "Babalu" Sobral II and the semi-main of Forrest Griffin vs. Stephan Bonnar II.

Vera will have quite the interesting opposition facing him across the octagon, as former UFC Heavyweight champion Frank Mir continues his comeback from a motorcycle injury that cost him his belt when he steps into the cage on August 26th to fight Brandon Vera.

Vera's website simply stated the following:

Brandon Vera fights in UFC 62
Brandon Vera vs. Frank Mir (former UFC Heavy Weight Champion)

We await official confirmation.

UPDATE: We have received word from an anonymous source that while the Vera-Mir bout is scheduled for an upcoming UFC event, it's doubtful it will take place at UFC 62 as Vera's website mentions. According to our source, the fight is scheduled for November - meaning it could be and likely is planned as part of the UFC 64 card on 11/18 from Las Vegas, Nevada.

This info isn't accurate. Boone will be putting the real info up at MMANews.com shortly.....check your pm.

It's also old. Check out the thread "new fight for UFC62".

Yea i know, i was going to say something but since that one has false info right in the title and it's actually not for UFC 62 i just left it alone. lol It's actually November 18th at UFC 65, unlike what all other sites are posting, this is the correct info.

I'm actually glad Mir has more time to prepare.

good matchup, I got Vera winning it

Ya me to Vera is gonna end it via flyin knee

I gotta pull for Mir. If he comes out looking like a fuckin fat-ass again, though, he'll be fucked. I think Mir in top shape takes this one.

why are they waiting so long for this fight....put it on 63 or even 64

why wait months and put it on 65....if you have him fight mir at 63 you can then ahve him fight arlovski at 65

I'm sure they don't want to see "Fatboy" Mir again. I would rather wait and actually have a good fight where a former UFC champion didn't get embarassed horribly (again).
