Sam Stout remembers very clearly what Joe Rogan said during a recent fight.
The longtime UFC commentator said Stout was an easy fighter to train for because he fought the same way every time. Basically, opponents knew he liked to strike, and knew he was more vulnerable on the mat.
So when Stout (19-7-1 MMA, 7-6 UFC) bucked that trend in a rubber match with Spencer Fisher (25-9 MMA, 9-8 UFC) at this past Friday’s UFC on FX 4, he had Rogan’s statement in mind – and also, Fisher’s more accurate punches.
“I decided to go out there and do something about that in this fight,” Stout told MMAjunkie.com Radio. “My wrestling game is something that I’ve been working on for a long time, and my jiu-jitsu game. I’ve been saying that for a long time, but I’ve never really shown it.”
