He is! I once Met him at a Hotel. I was so shy to approach him to take picture with him, maybe he noticed that, his the one who approached me to take a picture with him!
@@Stilgar2 Jon Jones is a beast. I didnt know him back then, I thought Brandon will just win it easy back then. I was so wrong. LoL. but its all good. because of that he moved to ONE now, and moved here to PH. and maybe he can be an ambassador of goodwill for the country as well. He is a witness that it is all good here. no killings or what so ever as the media is saying.
good episode I never comment on youtube but figured I would for this one vera is the man I remember when he said im gonna be the double champ back in the day #savage
Wow never seen this side of brandon. So down to earth. What a gentleman. More blessings to come brandon! Totally diff. Perspective i had from ufc days!
Best episode IMO to date. Really got to see a different side of Vera. Big fan moving forward of him as a person and I have always been a big fan of his MMA skills. Legit martial artist and seems to be a very humble, carefree, and grateful/happy dude.
I was too back in the day but i went bad on him when his juiced pictures popped up on there. Rich Franklin replied to it with the old Dana answer. "We're bound by the rules of the regulatory commission we compete under". I said so no tests? He got me with the same answer again lol.
@BELOWTHEBELTwithBrendanSchaub It's so refreshing to see you interviewing fighters outside of the UFC Brandon's been doing his thing in ONE Championship
Brandon Vera saw me post something positive about him on Facebook years ago and he sent me a friend request. He would always respond to comments I’d post or questions I’d ask and would even laugh at some of my jokes. After this interview I can honestly say he’s truly a delight.
Below the Belt should cover ONE FC for sure ... Their tournaments are really PRIDE remeniscant ... The warriors are the stars! The honor and the combat. ONE FC and Bellator collabo would be awesome
This was a.fucking dope ass episode.. I remember Vera way back in the early UFC days.. I happy for him as he finally achieved what he wanted to evolve towards.. Schaub.. this is my favorite episode.. And One Championship looks like they've the true formulas for fighters and families future..
Never knew too much about Vera but damn he a cool dude. Definitely a fan. Gotta watch more one championship events. Time difference makes watching it live so hard!
This episode is by far my favourite! Vera is such an honest and open guy, seemed like he was genuinely happy to tell his story and talk with an old friend.
HA, so true, once you turn 40 you completely stop thinking about how old you are, it just becomes "40's". For an entire year I thought I was turning 46 and on my birthday my relatives were like "dude you're 45?"
Great show. Love One Championship, too. It's absolutely huge here in Asia, but it's great that it's finally starting to get some more "mainstream" recognition in the west.
Excellent Food Truck Brendan, Great Choice...i love his views on life, its not all about material possessions and its more about being happy in life. Also, how awesome is One championship and how they treat their athletes?
He always seemed like a cool dude, had a lot of hype in the UFC way back.. good to see him doing well. Hard following UFC alone nowadays with so many events.. so hardly have time to watch the other organizations.
Was always such a big fan of Brandon "The Truth" Vera He was always such an incredible MMA fighter and true warrior, heart and soul. Big respect, Brandon.
Try a one fc card. I love it and its live and free on youtube. And you can rewind it. It's a real martial arts feel, very different production to the ufc but still great. I learn about the athletes as they fight more regular names like Alvarez etc. But they also have glory kick boxers on it so it's a great mix. Also have knees to a down opponent which change every stalling position and mighty mouse softened his last guy up before he finished him so you could actually see how important it is. Anyway I rambled a bit, enjoy.
This is the kind of promotion the UFC never gives any of it's fighters besides the top stars. Props to schaub for sticking it to dana once again. Brandon vera is a rad dude...never knew anything about him while he was in the ufc
I think Brandon has found his sweet spot. He is great in this interview and the format is perfect. Much more interesting sitting in room in talk show format.
" thank you very much " " I appreciate it " and he covers his mouth when the camera is on him and hes chewing. that's a guy you should want to be.
@kora meep I was the opposite, my parents chew with their mouths open and it always irritated me so I consciously do the opposite.
Vera is a down-to-earth, cool dude.
Never knew Brandon Vera was literally the nicest guy ever. Great episode
He is! I once Met him at a Hotel. I was so shy to approach him to take picture with him, maybe he noticed that, his the one who approached me to take a picture with him!
I agree...I used to box at his gym (alliance) and just a down to earth guy.
@@rouiemoran I've been a fan of him since his UFC debut...I still feel that hellbow JBJ hit him with.
Brandon is fucking snitch.

what a GREAT ambassador for ONE FC! all smiles, all positivity. an absulotely genuine sweetheart of a man, all class mr. vera
Nice to finally see a OG that’s not only still competing but doing damn well and just enjoying life.
I seriously used to be a huge fan of Vera back in the day when he was in the UFC. Cool to see him get some attention.
Vera was sick. He had some brutal head kick knockouts.
Yeah he hit the UFC like a star!! Dude really blew the scene up.
no way Schaub is going out there. Dude probably can not handle life without being pampered. lol
Pretty fucking cheap to get pampered out there tbh he could live like a king for a month with 7-8gs.
Vera is such a nice dude, my first ufc event ever was when Vera fought Frank mir. always been a fan glad to see him doing good
is nice to see Vera getting some shine and still doin the damn thing
Damn it took a while for them to get their food lol. But good to see Brandon getting the shine & recognition he deserves! The guy’s an OG. 🇵🇭
Incredible fighter.
I love the food diaries always makes me hungry
I know. Im ready to go sleep n now im hungry like a mofo
Brandon, a true representation of Filipino. And he does the boodoots dance after winning the fight.
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Been to an event in MOA , been to rizin , ONE , and ufc and ONE is def the best live. Vera is the man!
Dude, the ELITE RETREAT? The most humble and most respectful event/occasion I’ve just heard from this. Just humble in both the concept and name
Wow never seen this side of brandon. So down to earth. What a gentleman. More blessings to come brandon! Totally diff. Perspective i had from ufc days!
The Philippines Awesome move, South East Asia is Beautiful, Brandon is a great guy.
Best episode IMO to date. Really got to see a different side of Vera. Big fan moving forward of him as a person and I have always been a big fan of his MMA skills. Legit martial artist and seems to be a very humble, carefree, and grateful/happy dude.
This is a quality guest. OG mma. Always like Vera. Glad he's getting some shine now.
Now I remember why I was such a big Brandon Vera fan.
I honestly thought he would beat Jones.
dshreve34 I had him in that fight too
@@skyekingdom0 It bugged me that everyone said how Vera surprised everyone in that fight and wasn't usually that good, etc. I knew he was that good.
Bandon Vera is friends with my dad on Facebook
I was too back in the day but i went bad on him when his juiced pictures popped up on there. Rich Franklin replied to it with the old Dana answer. "We're bound by the rules of the regulatory commission we compete under". I said so no tests? He got me with the same answer again lol.
remember watching this guy against justin eilers and frank mir
Immigrant Mentality Stiopic I’ll always remember that eilers knockout lol
That head kick on Eilers was brutal and you could see Frank Mir just break with those knees.
brandon vera is a beast!! and a cool dude to be around.......
Funny, when I first started watching the UFC, I use to get these two fighters confused with each other💯 crazy he's interviewing him😁💯
@BELOWTHEBELTwithBrendanSchaub
It's so refreshing to see you interviewing fighters outside of the UFC
Brandon's been doing his thing in ONE Championship
very nice episode. very informative. from the Philippines here!
Big Brown killing it with another awesome interview. I really enjoy this series. Great idea and good content!
Damn, Vera is a great human being
These are sick videos man. Keep it up big brown
Really enjoyed this one. Watching Vera's initial rise back in the day was a real treat, true OG of the game. Glad to see he is doing well overseas.
Brandon Vera is the version of Brendan if he was a real fighter and didnt give two fucks about fashion.
"Mr Alvarez" Vera was my fav fighter back when... Class act
Brendan "Gus-TOUGHson" Schuab
@Dylan Morgan More like GustufSVEN
Wow Brandon Vera so humble, great video this one 🙏🏽🙌🏽💯
Thankyou For this Schuab.Vera Has Been My favorite Fighter Since I was 12
Down to earth champ
Didn't know much about Vera but sounds like an awesome guy glad he's getting exposure
Brandon Vera saw me post something positive about him on Facebook years ago and he sent me a friend request. He would always respond to comments I’d post or questions I’d ask and would even laugh at some of my jokes. After this interview I can honestly say he’s truly a delight.
WHO KNEW, THIS MAN IS A GREAT HUMAN BEING
Typical pinoy humble and well spoken . How can you not live these person he is gr8 . B is great aswell keep upp all the good work mabuhay
Brandon has a good little gig going. Good job Brandon!
i thought Bisping was next after the Suarez episode but there's been like 10 since then and still no sign of the Count
Below the Belt should cover ONE FC for sure ... Their tournaments are really PRIDE remeniscant ... The warriors are the stars! The honor and the combat.
ONE FC and Bellator collabo would be awesome
Great episode! Thank you for acknowledging talent across the board of MMA!
The way he said oh my goodness..lol Philippines is rubbing off
This was a.fucking dope ass episode.. I remember Vera way back in the early UFC days.. I happy for him as he finally achieved what he wanted to evolve towards.. Schaub.. this is my favorite episode.. And One Championship looks like they've the true formulas for fighters and families future..
Never knew too much about Vera but damn he a cool dude. Definitely a fan. Gotta watch more one championship events. Time difference makes watching it live so hard!
U can immediately sense he has lots of Filipino pride in him 🇵🇭
Putting Guam on the map🇬🇺
I need some food truck food.
Really liking food truck diaries. An glad you had brandon on.always liked watching him fight
This episode is by far my favourite! Vera is such an honest and open guy, seemed like he was genuinely happy to tell his story and talk with an old friend.
So happy to see Vera living his best life. Always been a big fan
HA, so true, once you turn 40 you completely stop thinking about how old you are, it just becomes "40's". For an entire year I thought I was turning 46 and on my birthday my relatives were like "dude you're 45?"
Great show. Love One Championship, too. It's absolutely huge here in Asia, but it's great that it's finally starting to get some more "mainstream" recognition in the west.
Love how this show helps bring out fighters personality and gives them a platform for their stories. Big Brandon Vera fan after this now.
One of my favorite fighters👍🏼Once he left ufc I still followed his career, People sleep on Vera, One hell of a fighter
great interview!!!!!! thanks
Excellent Food Truck Brendan, Great Choice...i love his views on life, its not all about material possessions and its more about being happy in life. Also, how awesome is One championship and how they treat their athletes?
This one is probably the best and most enlightening episode so far. Thanks Brandon and Brenden!
Two very well spoken guys. Really enjoyed this one.
Always loved vera. He got me watching one championship. Huge fan for years now. Would love to see him mix it up with the UFC heavyweights
Finally some speaks the truth 🙏🏻.
I love this guy ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
The traffic is REALLY killing our economy here in the PH.
These are always good...
Great insight! Nice vid. Love the subjects and questions
Neither of these guys would've been ready for Bryan Callen's "bang bang bang!' 👊👊👊
Best one yet
Love these two, love the food truck idea. Super chill
Best interview yet
Man. What a great guy.... This show is awesome !! Well done to both these dudes...
I miss seeing Brandon Vera in the UFC. Glad you are still knee(s n elbows) deep in the fight game sir. Cheers
Still one of my favorite fighters since the time I saw him head kick ko the football guy wayyyyy back in the day. Great to see him getting some love.
Vera still killing it.. What a stud after all these years
It's awesome to see how well Vera is doing! He seems in great spirits and looks in great shape. The truth!
How cool to see Brandon Vera doing well!
Vera is the coolest guy period. I got to meet him at a Jiu Jitsu tournament in SD and he's just like this. Just an awesome, real dude.
These dudes make the Raptor look like a compact
He always seemed like a cool dude, had a lot of hype in the UFC way back.. good to see him doing well.
Hard following UFC alone nowadays with so many events.. so hardly have time to watch the other organizations.
Was always such a big fan of Brandon "The Truth" Vera
He was always such an incredible MMA fighter and true warrior, heart and soul.
Big respect, Brandon.
Wow didn’t even know Vera was still fighting. Happy for him always liked him as a fighter
Try a one fc card. I love it and its live and free on youtube. And you can rewind it. It's a real martial arts feel, very different production to the ufc but still great. I learn about the athletes as they fight more regular names like Alvarez etc. But they also have glory kick boxers on it so it's a great mix.

Great episode
That was that was great. Good stuff, Schaub.
This is the kind of promotion the UFC never gives any of it's fighters besides the top stars. Props to schaub for sticking it to dana once again. Brandon vera is a rad dude...never knew anything about him while he was in the ufc
30:16 What a Gentleman!!
What a great easy going episode.
One of the best ones yet! Brandon is a cool guy!
Dope Interview
Real cool to see Vera still doin’ the damn thang.
"80% veggies 10% meat"
What a great interview. It’s good to see Brandon happy and successful.
Imagine Derrick Lewis vs Brandon Vera. Derrick Lewis could be ONE heavyweight champ lol
Only man to out cheat jones in a fight.
The most positive dude in FTD!!
Great show! Thanks
Great episode....
Very good episode.
The truth is the man! Great episode!
The best below the belt episode yet. the truth vera is the man
I think Brandon has found his sweet spot. He is great in this interview and the format is perfect. Much more interesting sitting in room in talk show format.
