Brian Stann made a triumphant return to the Octagon last night (April 14, 2012), knocking out dangerous striker Alessio Sakara in the very first round of their co-main event clash at UFC on Fuel TV 2 from Stockholm, Sweden. After an exciting exchange in the opening minute of the first round, Stann floored Alessio with a well placed punch.
Once on the ground, “All American” was able to land two short, yet powerful, bombs from inside Sakara’s guard that had the Italian’s eyes rolling in the back of his head. That was all that the referee needed to see to put an end to the fight.
Stann, who got back to his winning ways after losing to Chael Sonnen last October at UFC 136, says that the fight with “Legionarius” almost didn’t happen because he considered pulling out of it to be with his family after his wife’s 26-year old brother died two days before Christmas.
