It certainly isn’t taking Brian Stann long to find work in his post-fighting career. Stann, who earlier this month announced his retirement from fighting to concentrate on his family and his broadcasting career, will replace the UFC’s regular analyst, Joe Rogan, in the booth at UFC 163. UFC 163 takes place Aug. 3 at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janerio, and Stann, a former UFC middleweight and ex-WEC champion, will work with regular play-by-play voice Mike Goldberg on the call. The news was announced on Tuesday night’s edition of “UFC Tonight” on FUEL TV. Stann (12-6 MMA, 6-5 UFC) decided to call it quits earlier this year after a “Fight of the Night” loss to Wanderlei Silva in March in Japan

Much of the MMA world was shocked nearly two weeks ago, not that Chris Weidman beat Anderson Silva to win the UFC’s middleweight title, but the manner in which he did it. Weidman stopped Silva in the second round, stopping his 16-fight UFC win streak and 10 straight title defenses, but also becoming the first man to ever knock out the Brazilian pound-for-pound great. Count UFC commentators Mike Goldberg and Joe Rogan among those who were left stunned by the way the fight went down. Now you can go behind the scenes of UFC 162, which took place July 6 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, and see some unique footage of Goldberg and Rogan seconds after Silva was laid out on the canvas by the challenger. Check out the video above.
