Sam Stout (born April 23, 1984) is a Canadian retired professional mixed martial artist. A professional from 2003 until 2015, Stout is best known for his 20-fight stint with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), winning Fight of the Night honors seven times.

Background

Stout was born in London, Ontario, Canada, on April 23, 1984. Stout has an older sister, Emilie, who would become the wife of late Shawn Tompkins.[3] Albeit Stout followed his father's footsteps and begun karate at a young age, he didn't continue it – or any other sport – very seriously.[4][3] It wasn't until Tompkins enticed Stout to start kickboxing around 2000.[3] Before transitioning to mixed martial arts, Stout competed in professional kickboxing, holding a record of 16–4 with a win over Kotetsu Boku in K-1 Max.[5]

Mixed martial arts career

Stout made his UFC debut at UFC 58: USA vs. Canada, on March 4, 2006. Although Stout was originally scheduled to face Kenny Florian, 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 for three action packed rounds at with Stout winning a 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 was voted #16 on the UFC's 100 greatest fights show.
