UFC Hamburg broadcast plans set: Rashad Evans back for first time since retiring from MMA

The broadcasting teams are set for UFC Fight Night 134, FOX Sports officials today confirmed with MMAjunkie.

UFC Fight Night 134 takes place Sunday at Barclaycard Arena in Hamburg, Germany. The card airs on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass. In the main event, Mauricio Rua (25-10 MMA, 9-8 UFC) takes on Anthony Smith (29-13 MMA, 5-2 UFC), who is looking for a second consecutive win over a former UFC light heavyweight champion.

Last month at UFC 225, Smith knocked out Rashad Evans, who retired afterward. Now, for the first time since his decision, the ex-light heavyweight champ returns to the FOX Sports desk as an analyst for UFC Fight Night 134. Joining Evans will be Kenny Florian, along with host Brendan Fitzgerald.

Calling the action cageside in Germany will be John Gooden and former UFC title contender Dan Hardy. Heidi Androl will be on site to interview fighters backstage.
