Who's Next?

"The hero of Saturday night’s show at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas was middleweight Brian Stann (11-3). The promotion of the former U.S. Marine Corps Captain fighting on Memorial Day weekend would seem brilliant marketing with the benefit of hindsight.
Stann stopped Jorge Santiago with a right over-the-top used as a counter to put the former champion of the Japanese Sengoku organization down, and he finished him with strikes at 4:29 of the second round.
No matter which of the three fighters advances the farthest in the sport, or has the best skill set, it is Stann who showed himself to be a guy with the “it” factor, the difference between a star and a superstar. He was as popular as any fighter on the show coming in, and the most popular leaving. He elicited loud “USA” chants throughout his fight, and even bigger chants after winning. Because of his performance in winning what was considered by many as the show’s best match, and his comments afterward, he left as the most talked-about fighter.
“I did hear those chants, obviously,” said Stann, who believed he’d broken his thumb during the fight. “It’s a career moment. There were a lot of veterans at the show, including Seal Team 6, that nobody knew were there. It was an honor. They weren’t chanting for me. And those chants were not just in the arena, but that was across the world in bars and people watching on television chanting and that’s credited to the men and women who serve our country.”

Not even sure why this is news... Former U.S. Marine Corps Captain kicking ass and taking names, that shit happens on the daily.
