Instant knockout victory in debut
Smith defeated Preston Parsons via KO (punches) at 1:13 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It was a flawless effort from Smith in his official company debut and one that should put him in contention for a post-fight bonus. A former standout wrestler in college, Smith has displayed insane power in his brief MMA career, going undefeated in 10 fights, with eight of those wins coming via knockout. Smith certainly has the athletic pedigree to develop into an excellent fighter at this level, and getting elite training every single day with the crew at Fortis MMA in Dallas should only help matters.

Debut scheduled
Smith will fight Preston Parsons at UFC Vegas 101 on Jan. 11, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Smith will be taking the place of Andreas Gustafsson, who was forced out of the fight for unknown reasons. The 28-year-old Smith is undefeated nine fights into his professional career, and while he will be fighting on extremely short notice, he'll receive an opponent who has dropped two of his last three bouts.

Selected for contract after TKO win
Smith defeated Christien Savoie via TKO (strikes) at 2:55 of Round 2 at Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series. After the show, he was one of five fighters to be awarded an official UFC contract.
ANALYSIS
Smith looked every bit the part of a betting favorite upwards of (-700), dominating the first round in both striking and wrestling (six takedowns) and likely putting up a 10-8 score. It was a Round 2 takedown that led to the finish, as Smith proceeded to smother his grounded opponent until he was no longer able to defend himself. A clinical performance overall, and one which will earn the 28-year-old welterweight a roster spot.
