I've always associated Saturday with UFC fights and going out. Nothing better then being out on the town when you have a major UFC event going on. Everything is good

I'm actually really curious how Smith holds up if they go past the second round

People are saying that Braxton Smith having never been out of the first round is a risky unknown. Yes, that could be the case. At the same time, the guy has a legitimate background as an athlete. He could possibly have better cardio than Porter, lol. I guess we'll see.
