The Bloody Elbow team has made its picks for UFC Vegas 8, and we’re leaning towards Aleksandar Rakic to beat Anthony Smith in the main event. As for the co-main, opinion is divided on Robbie Lawler vs. Neil Magny, with the slight edge towards Magny.
Anthony Smith vs. Aleksandar Rakic
Mookie Alexander: This is a really hard fight to pick. Smith’s career surge at 205 was not a fluke and he has enough quality wins to remain a light heavyweight mainstay. With that said… the Glover Teixeira fight was troubling.
