UFC’s Brian Stann dropping to middleweight, hopes to fight in July or August

Brian Stann is tired of being an undersized light heavyweight in a division full of heavier takedown artists. So, he’s moving to middleweight.

Stann, who today spoke to MMAjunkie.com from suburban Atlanta, said he “rolled the dice” against Phil Davis at UFC 109 but doesn’t regret his decision to take a bad matchup on paper.

But the reason he took the fight might surprise you.
