UFC, Bellator, and Strikeforce alumni peopled a busy weekend for domestic regional MMA shows, with veterans of the Octagon turning in mixed results, though that's in large part due to them being matched up against one another. Case in point: Brock Jardine versus potent finisher Anthony Smith.
In the main event of Lincoln, Nebraska's RFA 30, Smith (23-11, 2-0 Bellator, 0-1 UFC, 2-2 Strikeforce) continued his assault on the middleweight division, flooring Jardine (12-6, 0-2 UFC) with a straight right before finishing him with ground-and-pound three minutes into Round 1. The TKO win puts Smith on a six-fight win streak and ends a three-fight surge for Jardine.
