In today’s rare Sunday afternoon UFC Fight card, Mauricio “Shogun” Rua was savagely knocked out in the first round of his scheduled five-round bout.
Taking on the legend on short notice, Anthony Smith was successful in taking out his second UFC legend in his second straight consecutive month.
After the bout, UFC fighters took to twitter with their reactions:
