-- Stann's story (two tours of Iraq, awarded the Silver Star; so pretty much fearless in the cage) could make him an MMA posterboy in the States if he keeps winning and building a name for himself.

Well Stann looked really bad, Condit was in a war with a talented fighter, Varner surprised me by looking dominant and this was the first time I have had the pleasure of watching Brian Bowles work. Pretty entertaining card overall.

Definitely a fun card to watch.

Now we know that Stann needs to work on the "Mixed" aspect of MMA.

We got to see a lot of young talented fighters who could really do something in the sport. Bowles, Larson and Grispi all impressed me.

And the Condit/Miura fight was really great. An excellent title fight right there. I hope to see the two of them battle again.

I was screaming at the TV, "Dude! At least TRY to take him down!"

-- Stann's got serious potential, but this loss will broadcast how one-dimensional he is.
