Vera may be going where he is getting paid more but that's not neccessarily the best thing or decision for him as a fighter on the rise. He needs to be where the toughest competition is in the HW division. Of course Pride would be 1st and then UFC. He may make more money but he's only hurting himself fighting a lower tier HW div. This is all saying that if he goes elsewhere other than Pride or UFC like the rumors have stated.
