Last year they were unable to raise enough money to participate, but they are confident that they will succeed this year after qualifying again.

The girls have worked very hard over the last year.

“I did wrestling, kickboxing, MMA, pad training and weight lifting,” said Jasmine Stout.

“I’m training hard to compete in Nationals and then hopefully go to Jakarta, Indonesia,” said Alaina Stout.

The Stout sisters are trained by their father Houston Stout, who was also an MMA fighter.

“If it was something they were interested in, I helped them with it,” Houston Stout said. “They’re all in, they love doing it.”

Houston Stout is proud of his girls and says MMA teaches you many life lessons.

“I think every person should be comfortable overcoming adversity,” Stout said. “There’s a lot of adversity in this sport. It’s difficult, but it teaches perseverance, dedication and even basic responsibility.”

The girls say they love competing at home and abroad and enjoy the experiences they get from competing.

“We can travel around the world and see other cool things,” said Alaina Stout. “We can fight in any country we are in.”

They say they are grateful to everyone who has supported them during this time and they are happy to represent Green Country on the national stage.

“Thank you to the entire city of Bartlesville,” said Jasmine Stout.

“We have some small-town girls, born and raised in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, who travel the world to compete and win national and international tournaments,” said Houston Stout. “As a fan of the sport, I think that’s great.”

Alaina and Jasmine Stout will compete in the World Championships in Jakarta, Indonesia starting December 6th.
