For my fellow Mixed Martial Arts (UFC) Fans
For those of you who love MMA as much as I do, here is one man to keep your eyes on:

1st LT Brian Stann, USMC
I had the pleasure of being an enlisted Marine under his command in Iraq, and now I enjoy watching him beat the crap out of his opponents in the cage.
LT Stann is one of the most knowledgeable, inspirational, and dedicated Marines I've ever worked with. He won the Silver Star during a combat operation I served with him in. To my suprise, they actually aired a segment on the History channel about that battle on the show "Shootout!" The episode was called "Iraq's Most Wanted: Terror at the Border"
LT Stann is still an Active Duty Marine, but he still finds time to fight on the Nationally Televised "World Extreme Cagefighting" on the Versus Channel. He recently won the Light Heavyweight Championship title in his 6th professional fight against a man who has held that title since 2005. He's currently undefeated, with a record of 6-0, and none of his fights have ever gone past the 1st round. He set the WEC Record for fastest knockout at :16 seconds.
This, my fellow Marines, is something to be proud about. He is representing our Corps, and is doing so in one of the fastest growing sports in the world.
Keep an eye on him, he'll be kicking more ass in the future!
