MONTREAL – Baseball season is over, but John Makdessi gave Sam Stout a lesson in “small ball” on Saturday night.
While the powerful “Hands of Stone” Stout looked for the equivalent of home-run shots, Makdessi fed his fellow Canadian a steady diet of singles and doubles in the way of a heavy jab attack en route to a unanimous decision victory.
The lightweight bout was part of the preliminary card of Saturday’s UFC 154 event at Bell Centre in Montreal.
