WINNIPEG, Canada – Sam Stout doesn’t want to take anything for granted, but come Saturday night at UFC 161, he knows he’s got just about every factor working in his favor. That could make it a long night for opponent James Krause . Stout (20-8-1 MMA, 8-7 UFC), a veteran lightweight who competes for the 16th time under the UFC banner, meets injury replacement and promotional newcomer Krause (19-4 MMA, 0-0 UFC) at UFC 161, which takes place at MTS Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Their bout, which is part of the FX-televised preliminary card, pits a UFC newbie against a fighter who entered the octagon for the first time way back in 2006. “I can’t count on him having the first-fight jitters, but I’ve experienced it before,” Stout today told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).
