Brian Stann vs Alessio Sakara fight video

In Saturday night's co-main event of UFC on Fuel 2 in Sweden, Brian Stann annihilated renowned striker Alessio Sakara with kicks and strikes for a convincing win. Brian Stann put himself back in the winner's circle in the middleweight division after a loss to Chael Sonnen in UFC 136.

Stann's impressive victory was overshadowed by a highlight when he gesture the referee to stop the fight to save more infliction to his opponent or save Sakara's life. Stann has shown his decency as a fighter and recognize that his opponent Sakara can no longer defend himself so he pulls back instead of repeated strikes.

Seeing this rare classy act makes one believe that some of UFC fighters are decent man after all. Yahoo reports, that immediately after the bout, UFC president Dana White tweeted, "Brian Stann is one of the classiest people on Earth!" Fellow UFC fighter Light heavyweight champ Jon Jones, a training partner of Stann's, called the win "very classy" and "good for the sport."
