Stark was completely over-matched and Ryan made quick work of the 20-year old from Phoenix submitting him quickly with a triangle choke in the first round.

Just talked to Ryan in his dressing room. He was surprised how fast the fight went and admitted that Strikeforce has a lot invested in his success. He's looking forward to a higher level of competition in his next fight. Quotes will post in a few hours.
