Brian Stann predicts Silva vs Sonnen II
On his performance against Chael Sonnen: “ I don’t feel like I performed my best. Just when I started to get my timing down against Chael, I made a very big tactical error. Some of the techniques we were working on for that fight, they were still a little bit out of my comfort zone.”
Brian Stann calls out Michael Bisping!
"Michael Bisping. I wouldn't try to anything but walk straight through him with a right hand. Here's the deal: I don't know Michael personally, sometimes I think he gets a bum rap and I've learned not to judge people off the media and things of that nature. After my last fight he had a few comments about my technique and who I was as a fighter that I thought were a little odd. He called me a 'white belt' and said that I was 'exposed' so I'd love to see him put his money where his mouth is. We can fight and we can solve that. He may be a great guy, I don't know, and maybe he is, but I would just like to compete against him since he made those comments."
Brian Stann's next fight!
Chael Sonnen secures his title shot with a tremendous victory!
Chael Sonnen started the game with a take down attempt in the first seconds. It was very clever of the team doing that. He pressed him and moved the position to clinch. Later Chael topped him and had the control in the ground. He became really aggressive trying to secure shots and tire Stann. He evaded Brian Stann's iron fists and used his wrestling weakness in a way. He never left him any space to work out. These guys started training together in the past and have some good relations outside the cage. So Chael has a better knowing of his style and had a perfect game plan in my opinion. The first round went this way with Stann never having the chance to stand up where he is mostly very dangerous.
Stann started the second round with a leg kick, unfortunately for him the kick was caught and he was put to ground with another double leg takedown. Chael tried mounting but gave up without securing position. Ref seperated the guys on the ground for not working, which we didn't understand the way he understood. Stann threw a great hook combo and Chael seemed tagged. However he came out so strong and secured a clinch closing the distance and took him down with a beautfiul slam! He had the the side control, got Stann's arm switching to arm triangle choke. The choke wasn't that enough to press the veins for sleep. So he very quickly hopped to the other side of him to tighten the choke. Eventually couldn't resist more and forced to tap out against his opponent.
The post fight interview with Joe Rogan was a calling out! He exactly said : "Anderson Silva, you absolutely suck! Superbowl weekend, the biggest rematch in the history of the business. I'm calling you out, Silva, but we're upping the stakes. I beat you, you leave the division. You beat me, I will leave the UFC forever!"
The cameras concentrated Anderson Silva who was also at the Toyota Center, he was smiling and shown a surprised facial expression. By beating Stann he proved he can challenge Silva one more time.
Chael Sonnen vs. Brian Stann
The bout's winner will be the the no:1 title contender.
We all remember Sonnen's last fight against Silva. He dominated Silva for 5 rounds and lost via triangle armbar at the very last 2 minutes of the fight. Sonnen (25-11-1) is very powerful wrestler and he has some serious solid boxing skills. Stann (11-3) has wicked boxing and KO power. He is more powerful standing up. Both guys are nervous about the fight as this bout actually can go anywhere at any time and I believe it will be the best among all card!
Anderson Silva injured
Anderson Silva's manager Ed Soares informed the audience that he Silva had injured his shoulder in training for UFC 134 (RIO) last month. He will be most likely out till early 2012, hopefully he can defend his title once again in the first quarter. The team were afraid of a possible surgery, for now it will just need a rehabilitation to heal. By the way there is now no currently a match-up set for title defence. Chael Sonnen vs. Brian Stann @ UFC 136 result will lead us to an answer.
Brian Stann has won the last 3 fights with a tremendous performance allowing him to fight for the title eliminator against Chael Sonnen. Chael Sonnen was the first fighter who was really close to defeat Silva. He simply dominated Silva till the 5th round. He insisted on ground and pounding Silva which eventually forced him to do a mistake and get caught by a triangle armbar choke at 3:10 of Round 5. Silva is one of the most dangerous guys on the ground to play with. We should also note that Silva came to bout with a broken rib.
Later the fight Chael Sonnen's post fight drug tests he had elevated testosterone level which was outside the normal range resulting him a 2500 $ fine and contract suspension until 9.2.11, later he appealed on 12.2.11. His elevated testosterone was due to his medical status and treatment as to the report. He had some other legal issues which is not about UFC and I don't want to write here. Now he is ready to face Brian Stann for UFC 136
