If there were legitimately doubts about how good Anthony Smith truly is since moving up to 205 lbs, he surely erased them with his upset win over Alexander Gustafsson in the UFC Stockholm main event. He stunned the crowd by choking Gustafsson out in the fourth round of a fight that, quite frankly, Smith was clearly winning up to that point. The tide looked like it was turning in Gus’ favor after he hurt Smith in round three and was upping his volume, but Smith was more composed and more effective on offense for much of the contest, and Gustafsson’s failed trip in the fourth round proved to be a fatal move.
