That was quick. Earlier today an MMA Junkie report nixed the rumored fight between Chael Sonnen and Lyoto Machida. Now, Heavy.com reports that Sonnen will instead fight Brian Stann. The details:

A middleweight bout between Chael Sonnen and Brian Stann has been agreed to for UFC 136 in October.

HeavyMMA confirmed the news with sources close to the bout on Wednesday afternoon.

The bout is slated to be the co-main event of the pay per view in Houston. The event will take place at the Toyota Center.

Stann was last seen blasting Jorge Santiago on Memorial Day weekend. The win put him at 3-0 in the UFC's middleweight division. Phil Davis forced him to drop in weight following a unanimous decision loss at UFC 109.

There's no word whether Sonnen will adopt Sgt. Slaughter's turncoat gimmick from Wrestlemania VII.

UFC 136 is expected to take place October 8 and feature a featherweight title main event between Jose Aldo and Kenny Florian.
