The opponent has changed but the location remains the same. Rather than fight Lyoto Machida as reported by Fighters Only Magazine, Sonnen will now face middleweight Brian Stann to determine the next challenger for the UFC middleweight title. At some point, one must mention that Stann is an ex-marine. And we will undoubtedly hear Stann talk about it and the UFC promote it leading up to the fight. So, there is our mentioning of it. No more.
During an interview with Ariel Helwani of AOL, Chael stated, "...there's a karate guy at 205 pounds, I might stop there on my way back to 185 pounds...". This deal was almost done when apparently the UFC scrapped it and just decided to go with a number one contender match at middleweight.
Either way, it works for me and I look forward to seeing Chael give a beating to ol' Hero Boy Brian Stann.
