Everyone saying the fight shouldn't have been stopped are uneducated drunk bums sitting on their couch *****ing they lost their parlays. Crute's leg was done. Crute was going to trip on his own leg and Smith would need to do is say "stand up" and the fight would have been stopped. If that's an ACL injury it's good the fight is stopped. Get that **** fixed and don't **** up your knee for life.

I picked Crute to win, but yeah smart stoppage. No way Crute could have won that fight. All Smith needed to do is land 2-3 more leg kicks and it was over.

Crute wins this fight 9 times out of 10. If he can take him down that easy on one leg it’s pretty clear he has a path to beat him pretty handily. I like smith but he doesn’t deserve his #6 rank at all

 It’s a weird one. It could be something serious or it could just be a bad dead leg that will heal in a couple of days at the moment and heal up. 2021 mma is just weird lol so many disappointing ways fights are ending

I'm surprised he's taking Uriah's ground game so lightly, he's actually a pretty decent grappler/wrestler.
