It was a Memorial Day weekend to remember for All-American war veteran Brian Stann, as he put in a dominant performance and gained a second TKO victory over a game Jorge Santiago. It was Santiago's return to the big leagues and Stann stopped him dead in his tracks with leg kicks and lethal combinations.
Coming into this fight, Santiago was ranked in the 14th or 15th area in the division based on a tear of wins outside the UFC. Stann was ranked lower than Jorge, so where does this lopsided beating of Santiago put Stann? I believe it vaults him onto the cusp of the top 10 in the division, and sets him up for a big step up in his next fight this year.
Stann has solidified himself as a major force to be reckoned with after his destruction of JS. He needs to be considered in the cream of the crop now at 185 and therefore must be handed to a division wolf.
With that idea in mind, I present to you three fights to get Brian Stann into the middleweight title picture.
