UFC lightweights Spencer Fisher (19-3) and Sam Stout (11-2-1) could possibly rematch at an upcoming Ultimate Fight Night, according to FightNetwork.com.
At UFC 58 in March 2006, Stout outpointed Fisher on most judges scorecards en route to a split-decision victory.
It’s important to note that Fisher took the fight on short notice and was forced to cut a significant amount of weight in a short time, draining him physically once the action started.
Even still, he managed to perform well — well enough to believe that he was robbed that night at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada.
In his next bout after defeating Fisher, “Hands of Stone” got manhandled by Kenny Florian (5-3), tapping because of a rear naked choke early in round one. Thereafter, Stout went on to win two more bouts under the Canadian-based TKO Major League MMA promotion.
Stout is 1-1 in the Octagon.
As for Fisher, he jetted for three weeks of Muay Thai training in Thailand after suffering a loss via technical knockout to Hermes Franca (18-5) at UFC Fight Night 8 earlier this year. He’s a Miletich-trained fighter who is not only looking for revenge, but to also get back in the hunt for the 155-pound gold strap.
There’s no word yet on a potential date for the next UFC Fight Night event on Spike television.
Stay tuned.

I’m a big fan of “The King” and hope to see him in a lot more fights.
I like his style also. hopefully he will be around awhile.
sam stout is no match for a healthy, conditioned Spencer Fisher…i kinda hope this fight doesnt happen
i agree with all you guys, i love spencer fisher and think sam stout has nothing for the king…
Spencer Fisher vs. Melvin Guillard would be a much better fight. Both are coming off losses to top tier fighters and are hungry to prove they should be in the hunt for a title shot. Plus, they are both scrappers with explosive hands.
Come on Stout and kick this f*ckers ass. I don’t need another unsolicited post-fight Jesus sermon.

Fisher got TKO’d by Hermes Franca. HERMES FRANCA!
Maybe the guy can bang but he clearly can’t take a good punch. Guillard would smoke his ass.
There are just too many 155ers out there to do this rematch, unless they want to ruin Stout. The kid is young, and he should be in the smaller shows a little longer… Try the WES 145 division.

dude are you serious franca has HEAVY HEAVY hands, but i do belive him and guilard would be a good fight but fisher would dominate on the ground i dont think hed stand with melvin as for the stout fight i loved the first fight very entertaining and a rematch is well do, you guys are like this is stupid fusher will kill him but all that matters is stout won the first fight and im sure fisher wants a re match
sirmix…hermes also KO caol uno…dropped Josh Tompson…hes a heavy handed litle bastard…spencer isnt the most technical fighter, he doesnt have a very good ground game, but something about him makes me root for him..it might be that stupid dance he does when he wins…sam stout should fight melvin…seings how each of their last ufc fights were submissions under a minute
I don’t think we need to see Guillard anywhere except as the practice dummy in submission training videos being hawked on the Home Shopping Network.
Good fight the first time around, next one should be just as good.

Agree. Good bout for the right reasons. Basically a Loser Leaves Town ( for the WEC ) bout.
LETS GO SPENCE
That fight was awesome i would definalty pay to see them fight again.
Ran into Sam Stout at my local gym and struck up a quick conversation. I asked when his next fight was and he responded that the rematch is set for a UFC fight night on June 9th.
I thought he looked familiar and couldn’t help asking if he was who I thought he was.
