An intriguing middleweight matchup is now official for UFC 130, as Brian Stann (10-3 MMA, 4-2 UFC) meets Jorge Santiago (23-8 MMA, 1-2 UFC) on the evening's main card.

UFC officials today announced the matchup, which was previously reported by MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).

Stann initially was slated to Wanderlei Silva (33-10-1 MMA 3-5 UFC) at the May 28 event, but "The Axe Murderer" repeatedly voiced his preference not to fight the fan favorite and military hero.

Featuring a lightweight title fight between current champion Frankie Edgar and top contender Gray Maynard, UFC 130 takes place May 28 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The night's main card, including the Santiago vs. Stann bout, airs on pay-per-view.
