UFC Fight Night: Smith v. Rakic

Who will WIN this FIGHT?

Anthony Smith (USA)

Aleksandar Rakic (AUT)

 

Current odds:

Anthony Smith: (+225)

Aleksandar Rakic: (-275)

 

• Smith’s career surge at 205 was not a fluke and he has enough quality wins to remain a light heavyweight mainstay. With that said… the Glover Teixeira fight was troubling. His gas tank has never been outstanding but he emptied it fast against Glover, and he took about 9 more minutes worth of beating than he needed to.

• Rakic is a potent striker with a good enough wrestling game to trouble Smith. If Smith takes Rakic down then we really haven’t seen Aleksandar get seriously tested off of his back, but Rakic on top delivers some solid ground-and-pound.
