John Makdessi jabs and dodges his way past Sam Stout, he was able to get back in the win column after two losses in a row, and fighting in front of the Canadian crowd.
The lightweight bout was part of the preliminary card of Saturday’s UFC 154 event at Bell Centre in Montreal.
Makdessi faced Stout with more peppered jabs. Stout tried to come inside with jabs of his own, but his punches were just out of the reach of Makdessi’s jaw as he ducked and dodged away. Stout wanted a takedown late, but Makdessi defended and ended the frame with a left hand.
