A veteran of 15 UFC fights has suffered a knockout loss to a one-armed opponent in a recent crossover combat sports event.
The Bout and Knockout Victory
Jake Peacock secured a knockout win over Cody Stamann during the main event of the MMT11: MMA vs. Muay Thai fight card held last weekend in Detroit, Michigan. Peacock, a former ONE Championship competitor, was born without a lower right arm because of complications during his mother’s pregnancy, yet he continues to secure major victories on the regional circuit. The 33-year-old fighter effectively utilizes his arm stump for striking in competition.
Post-Fight Reactions
Following the bout, Peacock praised his opponent’s extensive resume in the sport. “Big respect for Cody, he’s accomplished so much,” Peacock stated as reported by sports.yahoo.com. “He’s been in there with absolute killers. Some of the best in the world, a ranked UFC fighter. So, my job was to get the job done quickly, not mess about. I wanted to take him out, make a point. There are levels to striking, There are levels in this sport, and I am the level up there.”
The outcome marks the initial defeat for Stamann since he parted ways with the UFC organization in late 2024.
