HOUSTON – While this weekend’s UFC 136 event is headlined by a pair of
title fights, the middleweight contest between Chael Sonnen and Brian
Stann is also rife with championship implications.
However, the winner won’t necessarily book a future date with 185-pound kingpin Anderson Silva.
Recent Strikeforce import Dan Henderson meets Mauricio “Shogun” Rua in
November, and UFC president Dana White said a win could rush him to the
front of the line.
