Tonight UFC lightweight Sam Stout officially announced his retirement from professional competition at the age thirty one years and after twenty UFC fights.
As a newly minted retiree, Sam Stout has to get cut a little slack when asked what his time capsule moment as a prizefighter is. So he gave three moments on the day he officially hung up the gloves.
For me, it would be the whole trilogy with Spencer (Fisher), Stout said of his three bouts with the Iowa veteran. The first fight, he took it on short notice and we had a great fight. The second fight, he got the better of me. The third fight, I kinda changed it up on him and threw a monkey wrench in his game plan and threw some takedowns in.
I kept in touch with Spencer after all that, we have a tremendous amount of respect for each other, and we kind of helped make each other’s career, he continues. I taught a seminar at his gym this past summer and spent some time hanging out with him and his family, and that trilogy is probably the greatest combination of moments in my career.
