Brandon Vera returned to the heavyweight division for the first time since 2008 in order to face Ben Rothwell . Rothwell and Vera squared off as part of the UFC 164 main card, which aired live on pay-per-view from Milwaukee’s Bradley Center on Saturday night. Vera debuted with the sport’s premier organization as a heavyweight in 2005 and returned to his original division against Rothwell, who had a 21-pound weight advantage.
