Tonight’s UFC Vegas 15 event was headlined by a light heavyweight bout featuring former title challenger Anthony Smith taking on Devin Clark.<\/p>\n
The fight card was originally slated to be headlined by a heavyweight contest between Curtis Blaydes and Derrick Lewis<\/a>. However, that bout was scratched on Friday after it was announced that ‘Razor’ had contracted Covid-19<\/a>.<\/p>\n Smith (34-16 MMA) entered tonight’s UFC Vegas 15 headliner on a two-fight losing skid, his latest being a unanimous decision setback to Aleksandar Raki\u0107. ‘Lionheart’ had gone 1-3 over his past four contests overall, with his lone win in that time coming against Alexander Gustafsson by way of submission.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Devin Clark (12-5 MMA) entered UFC Vegas 15 on a two-fight winning streak, this after scoring unanimous decision victories over Dequan Townsend and Alonzo Menifield in his most recent Octagon<\/a> appearances. Clark’s most recent setback had came thirteen months ago when he was submitted by Ryan Spann at UFC Fight Night 161.<\/p>\n Tonight’s UFC Vegas 15 main event did not last long. After Devin started strong by rocking Anthony with a right hand and then scoring a takedown things appeared to be going Clark’s way. However, ‘Lionheart’ was able to secure a triangle choke from off of his back which forced Clark to tapout.<\/p>\n Official UFC Vegas 15 Result: Anthony Smith def.
