So let me get something straight. One of the contests on the televised prelims of UFC 241 features Raphael Assuncao, who was one win away from fighting for the bantamweight title, clashing with Cory Sandhagen, a rapidly rising prospect who defeated perennial KO artist John Lineker in his last outing. That’s a fantastic fight. And yet, a contest between Devonte Smith and Khama Worthy gets the billing of featured prelim? Smith is a fine prospect, but he isn’t nearly as advanced in his development as Sandhagen. I don’t want to rip on it too much as Worthy was announced as the second replacement opponent for Smith just a few days ago.
