4 years agoAleksandar Rakic entered Saturday's main event as the No. 8 UFC light heavyweight, but he did the work needed to knock off the fifth-ranked Anthony Smith. Rakic tallied 141 total strikes, 100 more than his opponent. He wanted to control Smith in the bout, and that's exactly what he did, racking up a control time of 12:14 out of the total 15 minutes of action. With the win, the Austrian striker moves to 5-1 in the UFC, with his lone loss a split decision. Rakic is a talent to watch in the light heavyweight division, especially with Jon Jones no longer around. Let's see how Rakic is matched up next.--Matt Bricker - RotoBaller
