UFC Fight Night: Smith vs. Rakic results and post-fight analysis

UFC VEGAS 8: ‘SMITH VS. RAKIC’ is in the books and so is the UFC’s August schedule. The card started out red-hot with four submissions in four fights, then the decisions went from entertaining to unremarkable as the night progressed, making it kind of a “meh” card on aggregate.

In the main event, Aleksandar Rakic and Anthony Smith traded vicious kicks early but it was Rakic who chopped Smith down to the mat with calf kicks. Rakic was able to control Smith from top position and basically repeat the process in the final two rounds.
