UFC Fight Night: Smith vs. Rakic - Winners and Losers

Saturday’s UFC Fight Night card started fast with four submissions. Things slowed for the final six fights as all of those bouts went the three-round distance. Among those contests were the co-main event between Neil Magny and Robbie Lawler and the headlining bout between Anthony Smith and Aleksandar Rakic.

The bouts at the top of the card showed how putting together a solid game plan and sticking to that strategy can pay off with a win. Magny, as expected, did his best to avoid fighting at a distance that would allow Lawler the time and space he needed to throw with the power he has used to end 20 previous opponents.
