UFC VEGAS 8 just wrapped up at the UFC APEX facility in Las Vegas, NV. Headlining the action was a light heavyweight bout between former title challenger Anthony Smith and Aleksandar Rakic. And it was the Austrian who got his hand raised after this one with a dominating, yet underwhelming, performance that left his American opponent baffled and ultimately disappointed.
Rakic took the fight on the scorecards (30-26, 30-27 and 30-27), giving him the biggest win of his career. The victory helps erase the memories of his close split decision loss to Volkan Oezdemir last time out and gives him an outside shot at a title fight in the near future.
