Stann to be Lombard’s First Opponent

. No comments.

When Hector Lombard, the former Bellator Middleweight Champion made his way into the Ultimate Fighting Championship or the UFC, he would have thought that his record of not having lost in the last 25 fights he has had would warrant a super match against the only other man who has not lost a bout since2006, Anderson Silva, who is already considered as the greatest fighter in the world at the moment. What he got instead might be frustrating for him and the fans as well, but Lombard would be making a huge mistake if he decides to underestimate his opponent Brian Stann on the network televised UFC fight card on FOX 4 that will take place on the 4th of August at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.

Brian Stann is a former US Marine and is one of the most prolific strikers in the UFC at the moment, particularly in the Middleweight division where Hector has made the move. Although Stann, a former Light Heavyweight Champion in UFC, has not held the UFC Middleweight Championship due to the presence of Anderson Silva, he will provide a good test for the Cuban-Australian Lombard, who currently trains out of the American Top Team in Florida, in spite of living in Sydney, Australia.

Stann is also being pushed by the UFC over the last few months; span in which he has managed to win four out of the five matches that he had been assigned that also included a brutal knockout of Alessio Sakara in April of this year and a win against Lombard might just put him in the title picture against the winner of the Anderson Silva and Chael Sonnen match.

But Brian Stann must also know what he is up against and Hector Lombard has his eyes beyond him, in the form of Anderson Silva.

He explained that till now he has not achieved any big success in UFC. But, now it’s high time for him to show what he can do in the wrestling ring. Brian seems to be very confident about himself. Since the last few sessions, he has been spent most of his time training himself for the ring. He is very dedicated to win a title in UFC.

Brian Stann believes that wining titles can only increase his fan followings. He wants the spotlight on him in UFC. He wants to see his name in the top ten wrestler’s list of UFC this yea. For achieving this, Stann has to work really hard. As we know, he has never succeeded in showing some excellent performance in the wrestling ring.

In some of the wrestling matches, Brian has knocked down the odds which were not expected from him. So experts believe that the way this particular wrestler is training himself for the ring, he may achieve his goal sooner. The next ring match for Brian Stann has not been scheduled yet. It is expected that he is going to enter the ring against Sonnen later in this year. Sonnen is great wrestler and has recently won a title. He is in great form. It will be a great opportunity for Brian to Knock Sonnen down in the ring. No official announcement has made for this particular match. Stann seems to be very active in the social networking sites these days.
