Prediction: correct Stann   correct KO/TKO   correct Round 2  

Tough fight to call. Santiago has the all around game to hang with anybody, but his chin is a big problem. Stann has proven he's got the power to put down really tough guys. I think Santiago is the more skilled fighter, but he's running into a bad style match up here with Stann. I predict a dirt nap of epic proportions.

Prediction: correct Stann   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

Stann looked great against Leben, regardless of whether or not Leben was hungover.  He's clearly got some very, very heavy hands if he was able to stop Leben which only Anderson Silva was able to do with a huge barrage of punches.

Jorge Santiago on the other hand may be the more skilled MMA fighter, but his chin definitely is very suspect.

I think Stann gets the knockout in this one, first round.

Stann has evolution since joining Team Jackson has improved drastically. Maybe he'll get the winner of Wandy/Vitor after he leaves Jorge unconscious in the octagon "again".

Prediction: wrong Santiago   wrong Decision  

this is possibly one of the most interesting match ups to come to the middleweight division in a long time. Santiago is coming off a fairly strong stint in Sengoku that left him with the belt but not so many strong challenges. We all know how Santiago's first run in the UFC went... and i feel sorry for him meeting Stann in his reintroduction to the big leagues. Stann can put hands on and KO anyone in the division and this will go no different. I dont expect Santiago to go easy but the war hero's strikes will be just too much....

I thought he was going to fight Wanderlei Silva.

Wand stalled because he doesn't want to fight "an american hero" because he doesn't want to be the bad guy in the peoples eye. He's called out Vitor and it sounds like it might go down....

That doesn't make any sense. But Silva vs Belfort II is going to be good.

No sources for Wand/Vitor II yet, simply a challenge thru the media that Vitor accepted. Who knows if/when it'll happen.

@Kalibo I'm a little surprised Stann is the favorite too, but he did look damn good against Leban and at MW in general

+100 I guess thats what I get for not actually following the link! When I lived in Vegas I would check the Sportsbook daily and I don't think I've ever seen a +$100 line thats pretty interesting
