UFC Fight Night 138: Volkan Oezdemir vs. Anthony Smith & Artem Lobov vs. Michael Johnson RBR

10-9 Oezdemir

 

10-9 Oezdemir

 

God dammit. Props to Smith. Oezdemir faded badly down the stretch. Still don't see what some see in Smith. He's a bit more durable at 205 that's it. The top guys destroy him.

 

LHW sucks ass. Outside of Cormier, Gus and Jones. I'd still pick Cirkanov, Blachowicz, Krylov, Latifi, Anderson and Reyes over Smith. But credit where it's due. He beat a legit name after dropping the first two rounds. Can't call him a complete fraud at the weight anymore. He's relevant.

 

Thinking he gets Blachowicz. And like Krylov before him will be shocked at how tough, game and crafty the Pole can be.

 

1* and that was tonight. I don't give him any credit for the Lombard, Evans and Shogun wins. All 3 guys are badly shot. 2 probably sitting on the shopping block currently as far as their UFC careers are concerned. But he did come through tonight after myself and others said he'd get destroyed. So credit where it's due. He's passed his first acid test since before pushed as a legitimate contender.

 

I'm ****ing exhausted. Between the world series, all of the boxing and this card. So much **** all at once on limited sleep and time.
