Cody Stamann can breathe a little easier.
The UFC bantamweight bounced back from his worst career slump at Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 37 in Austin, Texas. Stamann (20-5-1 MMA, 6-4-1 UFC) needed just 59 seconds to dispatch former WEC champion Eddie Wineland on the preliminary card.
Stamann clipped Wineland (24-16-1 MMA, 6-10 UFC) with a straight left early on the fight, and from there it was all downhill for Wineland. Wobbled and dazed, Wineland tried his best to recover and even fired back a few shots of his own, but Stamann stayed on him and kept connecting with combinations until the referee stopped the action.
Stamann was on a three-fight skid. His most recent win prior to UFC on ESPN 37 came in June 2020, when he outpointed Brian Kelleher.
