Mixed martial arts career
A UFC fighter, Stout made his debut at lightweight at UFC 58: USA vs. Canada. Although Stout was originally scheduled to face Kenny Florian at UFC 58, Florian withdraw from the bout due to a back injury. On short notice, Spencer Fisher – of the prestigious Miletich Fighting Systems camp – agreed to substitute for the injured Florian. Stout and Fisher fought a three-round bout at UFC 58 with Stout winning the split decision. Although the bout was not aired on the pay-per-view broadcast, the fight has subsequently been shown on episodes of UFC Unleashed. The fight got voted #16 on the UFC’s 100 greatest fights show.
Stout succumbed to a rear naked choke submission at the hands of Kenny Florian during The Ultimate Fighter 3 finale on June 24, 2006. Following his loss to Kenny Florian, Stout beat Jay Estrada by armbar, avenging his first loss. In February 2007, Stout defeated Brazilian submission grappler Fabio Holanda to defend his TKO World Lightweight Championship.
In Stout’s return to the UFC at UFC Fight Night 10, he was defeated by Spencer Fisher via unanimous decision. Later, at UFC 80, he defeated Per Eklund from Sweden, by unanimous decision. Stout lost by split decision to Rich Clementi at UFC 83 in Montreal, Canada. The scores were 29–27 Clementi, 29–28 Stout and 29–28 Clementi.
At UFC 89, Stout was defeated by Terry Etim via unanimous decision. Combining precise kicks with fast hands and a precise jab, Etim controlled Stout through the duration of the fight,[1] only having to fend off sporadic and often desperate bursts from the Canadian in reply.[1]
Following his fight with Etim, Stout’s next fight was against Matt Wiman at UFC 97, which he won via unanimous decision, 29–28, 29–28, 29–28 after hurting Wiman with a brutal liver shot. The fight was declared Fight of the Night.
Stout’s next fight was to be against Phillipe Nover at UFC Fight Night 19. On September 16, 2009, the day of the fight, Nover had a seizure. As a result, the match was cancelled.[2] Stout defeated Joe Lauzon by unanimous decision on January 2, 2010 at UFC 108.[3] The fight earned Fight of the Night, giving Stout his fourth FOTN.
Stout was then defeated by Jeremy Stephens via split decision at UFC 113 in his home country of Canada. The bout won the Fight of the Night award, giving Stout his fifth, tying him with Tyson Griffin for the most Fight of the Nights in UFC history.
Stout next faced Paul Taylor on October 23, 2010 at UFC 121.[4] The fight saw both fighters attempt kicks. The first round saw Stout bloody Taylor’s nose and successfully gain a takedown. Taylor came back in the second, catching Stout on the inside. Stout went onto win a razor thin split decision. (29–28, 28–29, 30–27).[5] MMAJunkie scored the fight 29–28 Taylor and Sherdog gave Taylor all 3 rounds.[6][7]
Stout was expected to face Paul Kelly on February 5, 2011 at UFC 126.[8] However, Stout was forced out of the bout with an injury and replaced by Donald Cerrone.[9]
Stout next faced Yves Edwards on June 11, 2011 at UFC 131.[10] Stout won the fight via first round knockout after countering Edwards with an overhand left square on his chin and earned Knockout of the Night honors. This also marked Stout’s first stoppage victory in the UFC.
Stout was expected to face Dennis Siver on October 29, 2011 at UFC 137.[11] However, it was announced on August 29, 2011 that Stout had pulled out of the bout.[12]
Stout faced Thiago Tavares on January 14, 2012 at UFC 142.[13] Stout lost the fight by a close unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28).
Stout is expected to face Spencer Fisher for a third time on June 22, 2012 at UFC on FX 4.[14]
