Brian Stann (born September 24, 1980) is an American mixed martial artist who fights for the World Extreme Cagefighting promotion. He is the former WEC Light Heavyweight champion. Stann was born at Yokota Air Base in Japan and grew up in Scranton, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Scranton Preparatory School and then matriculated to the United States Naval Academy in 2003. He played football for the Midshipmen at the position of middle linebacker during his time at the Naval Academy. Upon graduation, he was assigned as an infantry officer in the United States Marine Corps, and has since risen to the rank of Captain. [http://www.brianstann.com/bio.html]

On November 8, 2005, Stann and his command, the 2nd Mobile Assault Platoon, were ambushed by Iraqi insurgents while trying to secure a bridge near Karabilah. Stann and his men held out for six days under heavy attacks while Stann coordinated air and tank support that eventually allowed them to be relieved on November 14, 2005. Out of forty-two men in Stann's platoon, all survived, and Stann was awarded the Silver Star, the nation's third highest award for valor in combat. This mission was shown on the episode, "Iraq's Most Wanted" on the History Channel show, Shootout!, in which Brain Stann was interviewed. He left active duty in the Marine Corps as of May 2008.

On March 26, 2008 Stann defeated Doug Marshall to become the WEC Light Heavyweight champion. [http://www.411mania.com/MMA/news/68503/Updated-Card-For-WEC-33.htm] With this victory, Stann's MMA record reached 6-0, with five victories in the WEC.

In August he lost his first title defense in a rematch against Steve Cantwell. [http://www.mmaontap.com/mma/category/brian-stann/]
