Louis Smolka has an idea he thinks could help fix the major issue in MMA that is extreme weight cutting.
Smolka, who recently re-signed with the UFC as a bantamweight, fought Kyle Estrada at California Xtreme Fighting (CXF) 15 on Oct. 20. Smolka extended his winning streak to three in a row with a second-round TKO, but had to overcome some adversity to get there. “Da Last Samurai” was dropped in the first round, but ultimately survived to get the job done at the end of the second frame.
Estrada missed weight for the flyweight title fight, tipping the scale at 129 pounds, while Smolka successfully made weight at 125 pounds.
