The UFC and FOX Sports lost a key member of its broadcast crew today when Brian Stann announced his departure from his commentary position. Stann (12-6 MMA, 6-5 UFC), who retired from competition in July 2013 and has been a frequent staple in the color commentary position ever since, revealed that he’s been presented with an opportunity outside of combat sports that he couldn’t decline (via Instagram ): Although Stann was part of a rotating roster of commentators which also includes Joe Rogan, Daniel Cormier and Dominick Cruz, the 36-year-old has been revered for his work and specifically the amount of preparation he puts into each show. The audience will no longer get to enjoy his analysis, though, because Stann said he’s ready to move on the new working opportunity and also put greater focus on his wife and children. Stan made his commentary debut at UFC 163 in August 2013. For more on the upcoming UFC schedule, check out the UFC Rumors section of the site. Filed under: Featured , News , UFC
