Before we get started with this week’s Twitter Mailbag, permit me a few words about Brian Stann , whose retirement announcement came a little too late to spawn questions for the TMB. I admit that when Stann first mentioned to me that he thought he was done fighting, I didn’t quite believe it. Usually how it happens with fighters is they think that for a while, maybe say it out loud, but need a couple more fights before they really believe it themselves. Sometimes they make the announcement too soon, then start second-guessing themselves in the months and years to come. I could be wrong, but after talking to him about his decision and the reasons for it, I really don’t think Stann will be one of those guys. As anyone who’s had a conversation with him knows, he’s about as intelligent, articulate, and thoughtful a person as you could ever hope to find in this business. He’s honest and honorable without being naive
