Casey Kenney “On Top of the World” After Smolka Win, Plans to Remain at Bantamweight

Casey Kenney had arguably his best UFC showing yet on Saturday when he vanquished Louis Smolka in the first round of their UFC Las Vegas bantamweight scrap. Kenney submitted Smolka, a former top-10 flyweight, with a one-arm guillotine choke at the 3:03 mark of the bout. Kenney improved to 3-1 in the UFC and 14-2-1 overall.

“I came out of that one pretty injury-free, and I’m feeling on top of the world,” Kenney told MMASucka.

Kenney softened Smolka up with his stand-up game, appearing to stun him with a combination.
