Brian Stann breaks down Conor McGregor vs. Nate Diaz

Count Brian Stann among those who feel the UFC made the correct call in giving Nate Diaz the replacement nod against Conor McGregor.

There were several option to replace injured lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos against the featherweight champion on Saturday at UFC 196 in Las Vegas, But the way Stann, the popular FOX analyst and former WEC light heavyweight champion, saw it, the people wanted Diaz and the UFC catered to what the people wanted.

"As much as I'd be intrigued for Donald Cerrone, who was in shape to sell the fight, there was more noise from the fans who wanted to see the Nate Diaz fight," Stann said on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour.
