That didn’t take long. Only an hour so after the UFC’s debut event on the Versus network comes word that the second UFC on Versus show will take place later this summer in Oakland.

We didn’t see it on the broadcast, but Irvin’s eye poke and Buentello’s dislocated pinkie finger weren’t the only odd injuries sustained at UFC on Versus 1. Duane “Bang” Ludwig’s ankle turned the wrong damn direction on him during a Darren Elkins takedown as seen in the pic above. Cagewriter was told it was popped back into place.

UFC on Versus 1 “Vera vs. Jones” is currently underway at the 1STBANK Center in Broomfield, Colorado.

In the night’s main event, Brandon Vera takes on rising star Jon Jones in a light heavyweight battle.

In the co-main event, Junior dos Santos meets Gabriel Gonzaga in a heavyweight match-up.

Paul Buentello and Cheick Kongo will looked for a much needed win.

James Irvin returned from a long layoff to take on Alessio Sakara.
