Filed under: News , UFC , Videos It wasn’t the ending thousands of fans in London expected to see, especially after the first 10 minutes of the fight. But with about a minute left in the bout, after Brad Pickett (25-14 MMA, 5-9 UFC) appeared to be ahead after two rounds, Marlon Vera (9-3-1 MMA, 3-2 UFC) stunned London’s own Pickett with a head kick and finished him with a pair of punches on the ground. It wasn’t just another fight – it was Pickett’s retirement fight, and it came in front of his home fans. “One Punch” didn’t get the fairy-tale ending he was hoping for, and closed out his career with six losses in his past seven fights. But no one seemed to care much about wins and losses when Pickett spoke to Dan Hardy after the loss to address his family, teammates, coaches and fans. Vera was no less emotional, as well, and talked about looking up to Pickett before he was even in the sport.
