Brandon Vera calls out Thaigo Silva
by Hubert Lau on January 09, 2012

Upon hearing of Thiago Silva's return, Brandon Vera takes to his twitter account and calls for a rematch with the Brazilian.

"Good Morning FB!!! I just heard my dear friend Thiago Silva is back...... I want that ass. No H_m_," Vera said.

Vera and Silva first fought at UFC 125 with Silva thoroughly dominating en route to a unanimous decision victory, also breaking Vera's nose. However it was in this fight that Silva tested positive for steroids and subsequently banned for a year. Silva also paid a total of $33,750 in fines.

Silva cited the steroid use was due to a lingering back problem and the need to support his family.

Vera last fought at UFC 137 and defeated Ultimate Fighter season 8 cast member, Eliot Marshall, via unanimous decision.

Silva was recently allowed to re-apply for his license and is able to fight thereafter. Vera lacks a matchup so a rematch with Silva is possible.

Sorry snuff, he should stop fighting :p Cryptic_Soldier: And before you try and pop in a hot link i know he's 50% mexican... but still 0% brown flyangler: I'd like to see this fight again. I think Thiago KO's him on their feet this time though. Vera will be fighting mad and that is not smart (ie. Cerrone).
