days are behind you, what do you have
to say to them now that you are the
Heavyweight Champion?

SFM:
If you don’t mind, I would like to
mention three names to you, Jon Jones,
Thiago Silva and Shogun Rua. The feel-
ing was, among many MMA and Bran-
don Vera fans that after these fights you
should have walked away from the sport
and retired? From many points of view
and I agree, it’s not healthy for a fighter
to take such damage in the long term.
Can you comment on these fights and
how they changed your life and career?
