Selected for contract after TKO win
WelterweightUFC
October 2, 2024
Smith defeated Christien Savoie via TKO (strikes) at 2:55 of Round 2 at Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series. After the show, he was one of five fighters to be awarded an official UFC contract.
ANALYSIS
Smith looked every bit the part of a betting favorite upwards of (-700), dominating the first round in both striking and wrestling (six takedowns) and likely putting up a 10-8 score. It was a Round 2 takedown that led to the finish, as Smith proceeded to smother his grounded opponent until he was no longer able to defend himself. A clinical performance overall, and one which will earn the 28-year-old welterweight a roster spot.
