Video: Ahead of UFC Moncton, check out Anthony Smith’s devastating finish of ‘Shogun’ Rua
Anthony Smith (29-13 MMA, 6-3 UFC) looks to continue his impressive run in the UFC’s light heavyweight division this Saturday, when he meets fellow contender Volkan Oezdemir (15-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC).
The two face off in the main event of UFC Fight Night 138 at SMG Moncton in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. The card airs on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass.
Smith enters the fight as an honorable mention in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA light heavyweight rankings, while Oezdemir stands at No. 6.
Ahead of that key clash, take a look back at Smith’s most recent outing, when he traveled to Germany this past July to take on former champion Mauricio “Shogun” Rua. The 89-second victory proved “Lionheart” is serious about making a run at light heavyweight. Can he repeat the performance on Saturday and move to 3-0 in the UFC at 205 pounds?
Check out the full contest in the video above.
