Brian Stann, known affectionately as “All American” by his fans, was born to be a warrior, as his mother gave birth to him at the Yokota Air Base in Japan on September 24, 1980. Since then, his life has involved one struggle after the next, most of which have taken place through his military career on very real battlefields with much higher stakes than any professional athlete faces. In 2005, Stann’s unit was ambushed by insurgents in Karabilah, and due to his leadership under fire—not one of the 42 Marines under his command was killed—Stann was awarded the Silver Star.

In 2006, Stann began to supplement his military career with a fighting career in the world of mixed martial arts, winning his first six fights—including the WEC Light Heavyweight Championship—before joining the UFC in 2009. Stann, a power puncher, holds notable career victories over Doug Marshall and Steve Cantwell (twice).

    (Chad's the dead guy in the background.)

    After getting utterly demolished by the much-larger Travis Browne during his Octagon debut at UFC 145, heavyweight prospect Chad Griggs has decided to drop to 205 pounds for his follow-up UFC appearance. Griggs was only 228 pounds when he hit the scales before his UFC debut — about as heavy as Jon Jones's walking weight — making this a wise career choic...

    In today's edition of bizarre matchmaking news, UFC on FOX 4 has added a doozy.

    Former NCAA Division I national champion wrestler Phil Davis, who came up short via unanimous decision against Rashad Evans in the main event of UFC on FOX 2 this past January, will get an opportunity for redemption when he battles ex-Strikeforce heavyweight veteran Chad Griggs, making his 205-pound debut, at the UFC...

    When will Mamed Khalidov fight in the UFC? Maybe it’s one of those things that according to quantum mechanics we can only ascribe a prediction, with each fight adding to an empirical evidence base dictating the probability of it happening? Holding first round wins over Jesse Taylor, Matt Lindland, James Irvin and Jorge Santiago in the last few years is bound to increase that probability, not to...

He's a strength and conditioning coach, he has me out to the ranch, and he puts me through hell for 30 days. That's what we use to jump start our training, basically. That's it. He doesn't want to be involved and I'm not going to involve hi...
