The #LytesOut Team is back with another #DEEPDIVE with UFC stand-out Sam Stout. Our first #DEEPDIVE with a fighter from North of the Border, Stout fought in the UFC from March of 2006 to his retirement In August of 2015. "Hands of Stone" collected 8 UFC "fighter" bonuses during his career and he fought during the heyday of Canadian MMA.
In Part 1, we focus a great deal on Stout's career coming up on the Canadian circuit, as promoter Stephane Patry and his TKO event became Sam and many fighter's conduit to the UFC. Straight fight talk here as we delve into the dynamics of Team Tompkins and Stout's relationship with deceased coach Shawn Tompkins. Thanks to Sam for taking us DEEP.
