Sam Stout: Retirement 'decision wasn't hard' since he 'can't take a punch' anymore

After three KO losses in a row, Sam Stout called it a career - just in time, as he now reveals.

Last week, 30-fight veteran Sam Stout called it a career after being knocked out by Frankie Perez at UFC Fight Night 71. It was the third consecutive knockout loss for the Canadian, so the decision to hang up his gloves wasn't a tough one, as he revealed during the latest edition of the MMA Hour.

"I clearly can't take a punch the same way I used to, so the decision wasn't that hard for me," Stout said (via MMA Fighting).
