Cody Stamann was quickly put away at a recent Muay Thai vs MMA event.

The former UFC bantamweight’s time inside the Octagon concluded in 2024, bringing an end to a near-decade stint in the promotion.

A submission loss to Da’Mon Blackshear marked Stamann’s third consecutive setback in his 15th and final UFC fight. Since then, ‘The Spartan’ has gone 1-1 across two sports.

Having bounced back in MMA a year ago with a victory under the Legends of Combat banner, Stamann was knocked out for the first time in his professional combat sports career on Saturday night.

One-armed Muay Thai star Jake Peacock knocks out UFC veteran Cody Stamann

One-armed fighter Jake Peacock has made a name for himself in the Muay Thai world, despite being born limb-different.

The inspirational athlete made headlines for his performances in ONE Championship before being released earlier this year.

In his second fight elsewhere, Peacock was booked to fight Stamann at the MMA vs Muay Thai event staged by Mitten Muay Thai this past weekend.

“Without this sounding arrogant, (Muay Thai) is easier on your body (than MMA), I feel,” Stamann said during the pre-fight press conference.

“The grappling aspect of MMA is so brutal on your joints.”

Despite that, Stamann acknowledged the tough task ahead of him, describing Peacock as one of the best in the world under Muay Thai rules.

The English striker demonstrated that talent in the ring on fight night, as he needed just minutes to drop the former UFC fighter with a fast and vicious combination of punches, kicks, and elbows.

Stamann could not answer the referee’s 10-count, resulting in a rapid knockout win for the ex-ONE Championship star at the Masonic Temple in Detroit, Michigan.

Peacock has now won two straight matches since his last outing under the ONE banner.

After being knocked out by Suakim Sor Jor Tongprajin last November, ‘The One’ made a successful MMT debut by stopping James Barney in round four this past July.

Stamann, meanwhile, mentioned he had turned down numerous MMA offers that did not excite him before the opportunity to face Peacock emerged.

The bantamweight veteran may look to target a long-awaited return to the cage following his unsuccessful first foray into the Muay Thai world on November 7.
