Brian Stann knows a thing or two about fighting. After leaving behind a career as a top-flight middleweight in the UFC, “The Greatest Living American” (as his broadcast partner Jon Anik refers to him) has gone on to become one of the most well-respected analysts and commentators in MMA. And being an analyst and long-time fan of the sport, Stann recently weighed in on the hot-button question arising out of UFC on FOX 24: is Demetrious Johnson the greatest fighter ever?
“I definitely thought he was the best pound-for-pound currently and as I watched him prepare for this fight, the question really started to arise to me over whether he’s the best ever,” Stann told the Anik and Florian podcast recently.
