WINNIPEG – After three rounds vying with James Krause’s sizable reach advantage, Sam Stout nabbed a takedown, likely hoping to curry favor with judges. Instead, he found himself trapped in a guillotine choke that allowed short-notice replacement Krause to secure his first-ever octagon win. The lightweight bout was part of today’s UFC 161 event at MTS Centre in Winnipeg. It aired on FX after additional prelims on Facebook and ahead of a pay-per-view main card. London, Ontario, native Stout cursed himself as the two separated and the final bell rang. With several Canadians coming out ahead on scorecards, he might have taken home a close win. Krause peppered him throughout the fight with a stiff jab and brought out a variety of well-timed kicks that found their target. Late in the first, a sneaky high kick slammed into Stout’s head and splattered the two of them in blood as they worked on the mat.
