4 years agoThe UFC's No. 5 light heavyweight, Anthony Smith (33-15) needs a big win if he wants to jump into the title picture, which is now wide open with the vacating by Jon Jones. Lionheart has lost two of his last three bouts, including his most recent bout, which was a fifth-round TKO to Glover Teixeira. Smith averages 3.26 significant strikes per minute but absorbs 5.00 significant strikes per minute. With a knockout artist like Aleksandar Rakic across the Octagon, it looks like a different plan will have to be implemented. This is a huge bout for Smith if he wants to be in the title hunt with whoever is crowned the new champion.--Matt Bricker - RotoBaller
