UFC Jacksonville Results
In a scramble to recover their insane weekly schedules of fights, the UFC kept the flag planted in Jacksonville for a rare Wednesday night card, capped off by an exciting matchup between former light-heavyweight title challengers Anthony “Lionheart” Smith and Glover Teixeira.
While both men fell victim to Jon Jones, they locked horns on Wednesday in a grueling affair, one that called into question the efficacy of cornermen and did not question the heart of Smith.
