Sam Stout announces MMA retirement: ‘I’m no longer able to compete at the highest level’

BAD MMA News — Thu, 03 Sep 2015 02:00:34 +0000

Sam Stout Longtime UFC lightweight staple Sam Stout has announced his retirement from MMA after a more than 12-year career that featured 33 professional bouts. Stout (20-12-1 MMA, 9-11 UFC) suffered his third consecutive knockout loss at the hands of Frankie Perez at UFC Fight Night 74 last month and decided to walk away from the sport citing an inability to compete at the highest level of the sport. The retirement announcement was revealed on FOX Sports 1’s “UFC Tonight,” along with a statement from the 31-year-old. “It has become clear to me that I am no longer able to compete at the highest level of mixed martial arts,” Stout’s statement read. “Competing as a UFC fighter for the last 10 years has been something I will always look back on with great pride. I think my best days as a fighter are behind me and it would be a risk to my legacy and my health to continue competing

Complicated feelings – and telling reactions – to Frankie Perez’s surprise retirement

Filed under: News , UFC The more I think about it, the more it seems like Frankie Perez picked a perfect night on which to retire. Not just for the obvious reasons, either. Not just because he happened to get his first octagon victory at UFC Fight Night 74, or because he did it against a veteran fighter he’d long looked up to in Sam Stout . It’s also because, well, look around. The night Perez retired in the cage at 26 ? It also happened to be the same night that Charles Oliveira had to be stretchered out of the cage after an injury stoppage loss against Max Holloway in the main event

UFC Fight Night 74 results: Frankie Perez stops Sam Stout in 54 seconds, retires at age 26

Frankie Perez SASKATOON – After a loss on short notice in his UFC debut, Frankie Perez made good on his promise to show his potential against veteran Sam Stout . Then, he surprised just about everybody with an announcement. Perez (10-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC) said his 54-second knockout of Stout (21-12-1 MMA, 9-11 UFC) would be his last fight, capping off a career at 12 professional fights, including two in the UFC’s octagon. The lightweight bout closed out the preliminary card of today’s UFC Fight Night 74 event at SaskTel Centre in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. It aired on FOX Sports 1 following additional prelims on UFC Fight Pass and ahead of a main card on FOX Sports 1. The retirement of Stout might’ve seem more likely and more appropriate, given that the Canadian veteran has suffered three straight knockout losses in a career spanning over a decade.

Holly Holm next for Ronda Rousey, but that won’t stop the ‘Cyborg’ conversation

Filed under: Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos SASKATOON – Today, the MMA world got some news it was expecting – news of Ronda Rousey ’s next fight – and some news it wasn’t expecting: her opponent . Holly Holm will be next up for Rousey, the dominant UFC women’s bantamweight champion, and not Miesha Tate, who was thought to be next in line for a third fight with her bitter rival after a win last month in Chicago. Rousey made the announcement herself on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” perhaps the biggest evidence yet of her crossover star power from MMA into not just the mainstream sports world, but the mainstream audience in general. Rousey (12-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) will fight Holm (9-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) in the UFC 195 main event on Jan. 2 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas

Filed under: Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos SASKATOON – A revealing post-fight video caused many to wonder about Sam Stout ’s future following a second-round knockout loss to Ross Pearson at UFC 185 in March. The UFC lightweight veteran said he’s not going anywhere. The video, dubbed “ The Thrill and Agony ,” showed Stout emotional as he left the octagon following his second consecutive knockout loss. The Canadian took an 11-month layoff following an April 2014 defeat to K.J. Noons and hoped to get back on track against Pearson.
