This is the Main Event of UFC Fight Night 171! No. 8 ranked Glover Teixeira has an impressive career, but age is catching up to the 40-year old, 4-3 his last seven bouts. He goes up against a strong opponent who is nine years younger in Anthony Smith. Smith is the No. 3 contender in the Light Heavyweight division with a 33-14 career MMA record, including 18 wins by KO/TKO, including 12 by submission. Smith comes off the best performance of his career, taking down Alexander Gustafsson in his home country (Sweden) via fourth-round submission. His left hooks repeatedly found the mark, keeping Gustafsson off balance. Gustafsson was continually walked down by the more active and younger Smith, and this matchup is even better for him. Smith is the better striker and has advantages with quickness and age, along with one-punch knockout power. Take Anthony Smith to win the fight.
