Toyo has signed UFC light heavyweight fighter Brandon “The Truth” Vera as a Team Toyo athlete.

He is a top contender with an 11-5-0 record; one of his highlights includes stopping former heavyweight champion Frank Mir by TKO in just 69 seconds.

A member of Team Lloyd Irvin/Alliance MMA, the 33- year-old, 6-foot 3-inch Vera currently fights in the 205-pound weight class. His fighting style includes Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Greco-Roman wrestling.

He is a two-time Pan-American Champion with an Olympic training background, and served in the U.S. Air Force.

Vera will wear Toyo’s logo on his fighting shorts while also making promotional appearances and participating in other marketing efforts.

“Being an official Toyo fighter is awesome,” says Vera. “I always have great treads on my rides, and when they finally wear down, I have new kicking toys.”

“We are excited to have Brandon Vera as one of our Team Toyo athletes,” says Stan Chen, manager of events and motorsports. “Vera has impressive power and is versatile in the octagon. His ‘driven’ style complements the Toyo Tires brand.”

Vera will face Eliot Marshall Oct. 29 at the Mandalay Bay resort in Las Vegas.
