| UFC : Sam Stout |
VANCOUVER — Canadian lightweight Sam (Hands of Stone) Stout knocked out veteran Yves Edwards with a vicious left hook on the undercard of UFC 131 on Saturday.
Edwards toppled backwards and didn't move. Stout (15-4-1) closed for the kill, but held back from punching when he saw Edwards was motionless, his arms outstretched like he had been dropped from 50 storeys.
Edward remained on his back with four people working on him as Stout was interviewed in the cage after the fight. He eventually got up on a stool to the applause of the crowd but needed a helping hand as he was led away.
Edwards (40-17-1) took Stout down earlier but failed to keep him there. As they traded blows on their feet, Stout landed with the deadly hook at three minutes 52 seconds of the 1st round.
