RFA 26 Results: Gilbert Smith Wins Welterweight Championship with Surprising Armbar

RFA returned to the Denver area on Friday night with its next batch of UFC hopefuls lighting up the 1stBank Center in Broomfield, Colo. The card was topped by a weltwerweight title fight between reigning champion Ben Smith and Ultimate Fighter alum Gilbert Smith.

The main event was turning into a grapple-fest with much of the fight playing out on the canvas or up against the fence for the first two rounds.

The third frame started much the same way with Gilbert pressing Ben up against the fence until he finally secured a takedown.
