Career

Background

Stone wrestled collegiately at Bridgewater State University from 2001-2004. He began training in mixed martial arts in 2006 and turned professional the following year.[1] He was an assistant coach for Holliston High Wrestling team from 2005-2007.

Amateur career

Six years before turning professional, Stone debuted in amateur MMA on August 24, 2001, facing Jeff Malki at Extreme Grappling Challenge 4. He won via submission,[2] and would then take a long hiatus before making his professional debut in 2007.

Early career

Stone started his professional mixed martial arts career on the regional circuit winning his first eight professional bouts, finishing all of his opponents, before dropping a five-round split decision loss to Jason McLean, during which he suffered a broken foot in the second round. After fighting McLean, Ken made a decision to move down from featherweight to bantamweight weight class division.[1][3]

World Extreme Cagefighting

In October 2010 Stone signed with World Extreme Cagefighting.[1]

Stone made his promotional debut against Eddie Wineland on November 11, 2010 at WEC 53, losing via KO (slam) in the first round.[4]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

In October 2010, World Extreme Cagefighting merged with the Ultimate Fighting Championship. As part of the merger, all WEC fighters were transferred to the UFC.[5]

Stone faced Scott Jorgensen on June 4, 2011 at The Ultimate Fighter 13 Finale.[6] Stone was arguably winning the first round until he was knocked unconscious from his guard.[7]

Stone fought Donny Walker on September 17, 2011 at UFC Fight Night 25.[8] He won the fight via technical submission (rear naked choke) in the first round, earning his first UFC victory.[9]

Stone was expected to face Mike Easton on January 20, 2012 at UFC on FX 1, but pulled out due to an injury.[10]

Stone was expected to face Edwin Figueroa on June 22, 2012 at UFC on FX 4.[11] However, Figueroa was forced out of the bout with an injury and replaced by Francisco Rivera.[12] However, Rivera pulled out of the bout due to an injury and was replaced by Dustin Pague.[13] Stone defeated Pague via split decision.[14]

Stone next faced Érik Pérez on August 11, 2012 at UFC 150.[15] He lost the fight via TKO in the first round, and was subsequently released from the promotion shortly after.[16]
