At UFC 216 Tom Duquesnoy experienced something that has rarely happened to him in pro MMA; defeat. In October Fire Kid, in his second UFC appearance, came up short against Cody Stamann. In a back and forth fight, Stamann was able to secure enough control, and land more punches, to convince two of the three judges to declare him the winner.
The result was only Duquesnoy’s second loss, taking his overall record to 15-2 (1 NC). Duquesnoy’s first loss was to Makwan Amirkhani back in 2013 (in Duquesnoy’s fifth pro fight).
