Round 1: Marc Goddard is the third man in the octagon for this light heavyweight main event. Shogun comes out and takes the center of the cage while Smith stays on the outside and lands some leg kicks. “Lionheart” lands a front kick to the face and then catches Shogun with a right hand to the temple that has the former champion rocked! Shogun is stumbling and Smith is pouring on the shots as Rua is back up against the cage. A huge elbow from Smith turns the lights out on Shogun who is slumped against the fence unconscious. Anthony Smith is for real!
