UFC veteran Sam Stout to call it a career, retires at 31

Sam Stout, who has appeared in the UFC 20 times since debuting with the promotion in 2006, has decided to hang up the gloves.

UFC Tonight reported on Wednesday that the 31-year old Stout (20-12-1) is walking away from the game on the heals of his latest loss against Frankie Perez at UFC Fight Night 74 in Saskatoon. Stout was technically knocked out by Perez just 54 seconds into the fight, marking the third time in a row that he'd been finished via TKO or KO.

In his previous 30 professional bouts, Stout had never been knocked out.
