Sam Stout vs Terry Etim UFC 89 fight on the horizon

Sam Stout (13-4-1) and Terry Etim (10-2) will likely throw leather in a lightweight scrap at UFC 89: "Leben vs. Bisping" at The National Indoor Arena (NIA) in Birmingham, England, on October 18.
Shawn Tompkins -- who is Stout's striking coach at XTreme Couture and just so happens to date his sister -- revealed the potential 155-pound match up in a recent interview with FCFighter.com.
Here's a snip from Tompkins:
"Sam Stout just re-signed with the UFC. They gave him another four fight deal, and it looks like he’ll be fighting October 18th in the London, England show against Terry Etim, who just fought Rich Clementi. They were going to try to make that fight happen (with Taylor) but I think Taylor decided he can’t make the 155 division so he’s going to stay at 170. Were itching to get Sam back in there, he’s pretty much had the whole summer off."
"Hands of Stone" dropped a controversial split decision to Rich Clementi his last time out at UFC 83: "Serra vs St. Pierre 2" in front of his hometown Canada crowd.
Prior to that showing, Stout bounced back from a "Fight of the Year" candidate bout in which he lost a unanimous decision to Spencer Fisher to outpoint Per Eklund on all three judges scorecards at UFC 80: "Rapid Fire" earlier this year.
Etim also lost his last time out to Clementi at UFC 84: "Ill Will" back in April -- albeit via unanimous decision. It marked his second consecutive loss inside the Octagon and just the second time in the young Brits career that he tasted defeat.
He has one win in three attempts under the UFC banner -- a submission (triangle choke) of Matt Grice at UFC 70: "Nations Collide" back in April 2007.

Looking at Etim, I just wonder, If I could cave his chest in with 1 punch. He is the skinniest little thing out there…..I am a fan of his, I just find it hardto explain how a man, couud be so damn bony!

He is one thin little dude!lol. But wirey might be a better description than bony. He’s thin, but that guy is all muscle, must be 1% body fat.

Shaping up to be one helluva card.
Bisbing vs Leben = Slugfest
Alves vs Sanchez = War
Davis vs Kelly = good fight
Etim vs Stout = 2 great kickboxers

Sam Stout can make the jump from a good fighter to a GREAT fighter, if he continues to work with Couture, and maybe a couple wins in a row can give us the match we all wanna see, STOUT VS FISHER OH BOY (MOUTH WATERING AHAHAHA)

Never been to the NIA in Birmingham and looking for advice on seating for UFC 89.
Will I be able to see the cage clearly from the lower tier seats (priced at £125 each)?
by Automation on Jul 12, 2008 4:31 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Yup. I usually go for £50 seats and you get a perfect view from £50, so £125 must be good as well. I am skipping this event though.

Thanks Adam, the seats are just behind the VIP section so hopefully that should be a good view :)

PHIL BARONI JUST GOT HEAD BUTTED AFTER HIS WIN OFF SOME IDIOT! AND LOTS OF PEOPLE WANTED TO ATTACK HIM IN THE CROWD! IM FROM THE UK AND THINK CAGE RAGE IS EMBARASSING! WHY DO CAGE RAGE PLAY NOTHING BUT IMMIGRANT RAP MUSIC! AND THE WOMEN LOOK ROUGH AS HELL! CAGE RAGE YOU DISGUST ME!!!

I tried to watch cage rage a few times, but some fighter’s entrance (he was wearing raggedy gloves, a hat and reading a paper while making his way to the ring) just turned me off of it.

In other words, in the way of production, Cage Rage makes Elite look like the UFC. Oh yeah, I’ll take Etim by submission.

the last one i watched had some fighter come out in a gorilla suit and some other crazy stuff. it was like a bad wrestling event.
by kitsunex on Jul 13, 2008 12:54 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, I agree. I think Cage Rage is like a bad redneck county fair production, while Elite actually resembles football halftime shows after pop music and gay choreographers got involved. lol

That was Brad Pickett. Believe it or not, he is quite a good fighter.
Cage Rage is a 2 bit operation with a very very small minority of good fighters.
I was disgusted with Cage Rage 27 last night.
I was so happy that the prick Scott Jansen got KTFO. Hope his brother also gets KTFO. What class his girlfriend showed in defeat (giving Baroni the wanker sign) LMAO!!
What about the nickname he gave himself for this fight “Too smooth” lol. Fuck off you twat.
What about the crowd??? WTF with wanting to fight Baroni. GROW UP YOU FUCKING TWATS, IT’S A PROFESSIONAL FIGHT, THATS WHAT THEY ARE PAID TO DO.
Dave O’Donnell needs to be arrested too, WTF with ‘Spank a Yank’??? He stirred the trouble in the first place, Fucking ugly twat.
BOYCOTT CAGE RAGE!!!!!!!!

Surely someone could make a better more professional show then Cage Rage! Everything about it is wrong! 1. Nothing but the immigrant London rap! 2. Commentators are s**t! 3. Girly look and act cheap and like whores! 4. Its all too common and aggresive in a bad way!
by Tony on Jul 12, 2008 6:41 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I’m with you Tony.
WTF with cage rage.
WTF with the thug and the head butt!
I am sooooo embarrassed to be british.
Way to go Britain, bring the world of mma into the world of hooliganism
by Automation on Jul 12, 2008 7:29 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Don’t be embarrassed to be British (I’m a bit of an Anglophile). Every country has its fair share of idiots, Lord knows we do in the U.S. Hopefully, the hooligans will be caught and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Is there a link to get more info on this incident?

I’m never embarrassed to be British, however i’m embarressed that that nob is British.
by MoonUK on Jul 13, 2008 6:33 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
You’re right, I was slightly annoyed.
I’m not ashamed to be British but I’m proud not to have been a part of that crowd.

Auto: If u think us grimey Americans are any better then u r sadlymistaken. I like England a whole lot mor ethan the USA!….but Italy trumps both!
by john on Jul 13, 2008 10:21 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Maybe you’re right John.
The way I see it is that the upmost respect goes to these guys that step into the cage. Their job is to finish the fight or they’ll be finished.
If you can’t handle seeing your brother get KTFO, then stay at home. He is in a job that can actually get him KTFO.
I was actually looking forward to watching this event, partly because I don’t like Jansen, and to see how Baroni faired at 170. He done well.
I actually feel like spreading the love for Baroni with his infamous video lol
I was also looking forward to this event as it could potentially showcase British MMA. Jason Young, watch out for this kid, Brad Pickett, got to love him, Neil Grove, love to see him go with Big Tim etc. But what will the event be remembered for? Some twat and the crowd showing the worst case of sour grapes possible.
I was just left feeling disappointed because of the whole headbutt thing and the crowd calling for Baroni’s blood
