Anthony Smith Earns Big Division Win On Saturday
1 year agoAs we expected, Saturday night's co-main event was a close one. Anthony Smith earned his 12th UFC win with a split-decision victory over Ryan Spann. In 15 minutes of action, Smith out-struck Spann by landing 91 significant strikes compared to the 59 of Spann. Smith was nearly finished in the second round after a big Spann left hand found its mark. With a very close last five minutes, two of the judges felt Smith did enough to earn a victory. The top of the division might be a bit much for Smith, but fighting against the bottom 10 could provide similar results as the Spann matchup.
