Sam Stout vs Yves Edwards
At UFC 131 in 2011, Sam Stout would end Yves Edwards night with what Dana White would later claim was, “one of the most vicious knockouts in UFC history, if not the most vicious.”
During a hard-hitting exchange in the pocket late in the first round of their fight, Stout landed a powerful left hook right on the button and it relieved Edwards of his senses and sent his head whiplashing backwards onto the mat.
Surrounded by medics, Edwards would remain prone on the canvas for five minutes before finally being helped back to his feet.
Years later Edwards admitted that though he walked backstage afterwards speaking to his cutman ‘Stitch,’ he can only remember suddenly coming too again later on while in the dressing room talking to Tyron Woodley.
