Ross Pearson to face Sam Stout at UFC 185

Sam Stout (20-10) and Ross Pearson (16-8) will fight each other March 14 in Dallas at UFC 185. The story broke Wed. night on UFC Tonight, and was confirmed by the UFC.

Stout will have a chance to come back from an April KO loss at the hands of KJ Noons. Pearson was also stopped in his last fight, a November loss to Al Iaquinta.

Both fighters have lost two out of their last three bouts, though Pearson's split decision loss to Diego Sanchez last June was one of the most controversial judges call of the past couple years.
