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.

Stann is going to come out with his guns blazing. He gets a quick KO in this fight.

Brian Stann like his robotic standup. But Jorge Santiago is better rounded and has been on a tear outside of the UFC. This will be a fast rear-naked choke.

Prediction: correct Stann   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

@Live2wrestle. That's why I picked Stann over Santiago. Santiago doesn't have the best chin, and Stann has very heavy hands (just ask Chris Leben and Doug Marshall). Stann also has a pretty good TDD. No matter where this fight could take place, I just couldn't see Santiago winning the fight. It doesn't seem like he can take the bigger Brian Stann down or overpower him, and he definitely doesn't want to stand and bang with Stann. Bisping finished Santiago on the feet, and I think that Stann has far better hands than Bisping, so I pick Stann by KO round 1.

I"m shocked at the current percentage for Stann to win, i think his KO of Leben finally cemented himself in peoples minds as a contender.

Proof that anyone at anytime can be a complete idiot.

Prediction: correct Stann   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

For some stupid reason, until I watched the countdown to UFC 130 last night, I've been confusing Jorge Santiago with Jorge Rivera. Jorge Santiago is an entirely different fighter. I realize now that Santiago is the guy that Chris Leben and Alan Belcher knocked the piss out of.

I'm still going with Brian Stann by 1st round KO. Santiago has more ways to win, and is probably a bit more skilled in many areas of MMA than Brian Stann, but Brian Stann has really heavy hands, and loves to brawl. This has been a weakness for Santiago. His KO losses are proof of that.

I think Stann continues his rise with a violent KO.

Prediction: wrong Santiago   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

A lot of you guys are underestimating Santiago too much. Hes been knocked out 3 times in the past 5 years, all by guys that hit hard as hell. His only other two knockouts were by Gamburyan and Keith Wisnewski. So hes had one questionable KO(Wisnewski) in his career and that was 8 years ago. 
And i also think you guys are giving Stann too much credit for knocking out Leben, its not like Leben is this illusive striker that is hard to hit. Anyone with a chin and punching power can KO Leben, once he gets his hard he turns into a zombie and just walks forward with his arms out. 
Santiago is more than capable of stopping Stann, on the feet or on the ground. I wouldnt be surprised if he does.

Getting knocked out by a 145 pounder isn't questionable too?

And Stann hits just as hard if not harder then the other guys who've knocked him out. That plus the fact he's been with Greg Jackson means Santiago is going down.

I agree for the most part with Heroak's earlier post, Stann has alot of power but is getting too much credit for KO'ing Leben who doesnt have the greatest chin and despite what Joe Rogan will lead you to believe doesnt have K1 striking.
