UFC Moncton: Volkan Oezdemir vs. Anthony Smith live results & highlights.
After a much-needed break after the melee of UFC 229, the UFC returns for an exciting night of free fights from Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada.
The main event, a showdown between Volkan Oezdemir and Anthony Smith is being touted as a “don’t blink” situation as both fighters have secured knockouts in under 30 seconds. Oezdemir has three stunning KO’s, the quickest a 15 second KO at WKN – Valhalla: Battle of the Vikings back in 2013. Smith’s fastest KO came at 22 seconds during a 2010 TriState Cage Fights – Island Warfare bout. Both men have secured massive finishes while under the UFC banner as well.
The co-main event, a bout between Artem Lobov vs. Michael Johnson has captured everyone attention as Lobov was originally slated to face Zubayra Tukhugov on Saturday. Tukhugov was removed the bout due to his alleged involvement in the assault of former two-division champion Conor McGregor. Michael Johnson stepped in on short notice to fill in and round out the 13 fight card.
