Anthony Smith continued his winning ways over Volkan Oezdemir.
The two fighters met in a light heavyweight bout at the UFC Moncton from the Moncton Coliseum in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. Although this fight was between two fighters who are known for their striking power, this fight went all the way to the third round. This is where Smith secured the rear-naked choke win.
