Cody Stamann sees himself as part of the new guard in the UFC bantamweight division. That’s why he believes the promotion’s brass wants to see him go over Bryan Caraway at UFC 222.

Stamann (16-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) said the time of Caraway (21-7 MMA, 6-2 UFC) being a contender at 135 pounds is over, and he intends on washing him out during Saturday’s bout, which streams on UFC Fight Pass prior to the FS1-televised prelims and pay-per-view main card at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

In Stamann’s mind, Caraway simply isn’t doing the things that fans, media and the UFC, in particular, appreciate out of a fighter in the modern landscape of the sport. He doesn’t discredit his opponent as a skilled fighter, but when it comes to holding an upper-tier spot in the weight class, Stamann said he’s about to do everyone a favor and bounce Caraway from relevance....

Ok, cageside. Are they trying to let Caraway back into the race, or knock him out of it? I feel kind of bad for him with his break-up and all, but the guy has turned down so many fights...idk. who are you all picking? I think Stamann has a shot.

Stamann was supposed to lose (I think) to Duquesnoy. Pulled off the upset.

Caraway has been super inactive. Beat Sterling I think by split decision; I have to check.

Caraway is one of those guys who can have a fairly long UFC career without anyone noticing. I know I must've seen Caraway fight Assuncao because apparently it was the co-main of Rory vs Saffiedine and I watched that, but I'll be fucked if I can actually remember it.

I seem to recall his style being that of what one might call boring but I can’t confirm that as I don’t remember watching him fight.....I also get him confused with nick lentz so nick may be to blame for the boringness I attribute to caraway

Nick Lentz is a good one. Just looked him up - 19 UFC fights and I remember 2 of them.

Fuck Caraway. If I could chain up 3 UFC fighters in a boat then sink it in the middle of the ocean, he'd be one of them.
