Mixed martial arts (MMA) fans should prepare to take cover as bombs will drop in the Octagon this weekend (April 14, 2012) at UFC on Fuel TV 2, when two heavy-handed Middleweight sluggers sling leather in Sweden.
At least, that’s what dangerous striker and all around “Roman Soldier,” Alessio Sakara, is aiming for when he steps into the cage against “All American” Brian Stann in the co-main event inside the Ericsson Globe Arena in Stockholm.
Sakara has not seen action since losing to a then unknown Chris Weidman at UFC on Versus 3: “Sanchez vs. Kampmann” more than one year ago. “Legionarius” was set to make his return against the now retired Jorge Rivera at UFC 133 last August, but a torn knee ligament (ACL) forced Sakara to bow out of the fight, and he has been riding the pine ever since.
Ready to get back into the swing of things, Sakara has his hands full against the former United States Marine Brian Stann ,who is also coming off of a loss to Chael Sonnen last October at UFC 136.

I've fought the majority of my mixed martial arts career at home in the United States and have, in fact, only competed outside America once and that was a 2009 fight with Krzysztof Soszynski in Quebec, Canada – hardly the other...
