After submitting hometown hero Paddy Holohan at UFC Fight Night 76 in Dublin, Ireland, Louis Smolka is not sure if that victory was any different than his other professional wins.
"I’m not sure honestly," said Smolka on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour. "I feel like every fight is a huge turning point. Every fight is important."
But this fight may be more important than his previous ones.
With this win, Smolka entered the top 15 of the UFC’s flyweight division and is now 10-1 with three straight wins inside the octagon. He also made history, along with Holohan, by being part of the first flyweight main event in the UFC that’s doesn’t involve the current champion Demetrious Johnson.
