Anthony Smith’s storybook run at 205 pounds continues.

“Lionheart” scored a dramatic come-from-behind victory over Volkan Oezdemir on Saturday night in the main event of UFC Moncton, submitting Oezdemir with a third-round rear-naked choke after dropping the opening two rounds. The performance pushed Smith’s winning streak at light heavyweight to three straight, and very well could’ve put him in pole position for the next shot at the 205-pound throne.

Check out how the pros reacted to Smith’s grueling victory below, plus the best of the rest from a busy night at UFC Moncton.
