We thought it may have been an overly-handsy Glaswegian that Brian Stann was warning off but it turns out that the All American was actually just having a bit of craic with KO artist Ilir Latifi.
The mic of the fighter-turned commentator was picked up with Stann saying “don’t you f**king hit me” after Latifi’s beautiful knockout of Hans Stringer at UFC Glasgow
The former UFC middleweight let us know that he was joking with the Swedish fighter, rather than arguing with a fan, and it makes sense considering he’s one of the nicest guys in the sport.
@SportsJOEdotie that was me joking w/ Illir Latifi after his huge KO, we hugged laughing after, no fans hit me etc

Stann used to fight at 205lbs so we think he might be selling himself a little short and we’d loved to have seen a Stann v Latifi bout when The All American was in his prime.
