Brandon Vera To Submit Jon Jones If Taken To The Ground On March 21

Brandon ‘The Truth’ Vera seems fully prepared to take on Jon ‘Bones’ Jones as part of the “UFC on Versus 1″ main event, scheduled to take place on March 21st in Colorado.  For those of you underestimating Vera’s ground game, the Filipino-American fighter assures media and fans that he has sharpened up his Jiu-Jitsu and is ready to submit just about anyone who decides to test him.

Will Vera be able to knock out or submit Jones come March 21st?  Or will Jones shut his mouth with some of his Greco-Roman wrestling skills?

From Brandon Vera:

“You take me to the ground this year, you’re going to get submitted…I’ll tell you that much right now…We’re going to bang man. I don’t think he’ll take me to the ground…He’s with a new camp, he’s with (Greg) Jackson’s and them. They’re good game plan people so he might try to take me to the ground, but I tell you this much in 2010, my jiu-jitsu game I’ve been tightening back up…Jones, he’s got the skills; he’ll stand with me. Somebody’s going to go to sleep.”
