Anthony Smith has become one of the biggest targets at light heavyweight since his emergence in the bracket with wins over former champions Rashad Evans and Mauricio Rua.
A man who was in a very similar situation last year before his defeat at the hands of Daniel Cormier, Volkan Oezdemir, sees Smith as the “perfect matchup” for him despite the American’s stellar showings in the heavier weight class.
“No Time” meets Smith in the main event of UFC Moncton on Saturday night and insisted that he’s “not worried” about the surging striker who has yet to leave the first round as a UFC 205er.
