LAS VEGAS – UFC middleweight Brian Stann says his success in fighting is partially owed to the skill known in football circles as calling an audible.
It’s the ability, he says, to “think clearly under duress” and to make split-second decisions without a tweak in heart rate.
Quarterbacks use it to move players and plays around last minute on the football field. It was part of the UFC 125 co-headliner’s life as a linebacker for the United States Naval Academy.
