UFC 261 results: Anthony Smith stops Jimmy Crute with brutal leg kick in first round

Anthony Smith was showing off a nasty jab in the first round against Jim Crute in the opening bout on the UFC 261 main card but in the end he only needed a single leg kick to land to stop the fight.

After Crute had landed several kicks of his own earlier in the round, Smith fired off one of his own with his foot landing just behind the knee. As soon as Crute attempted to step down on his foot, he crumbled to the ground and while he was able to recover enough to secure a takedown, the damage was already done.
