In the UFC Vegas 83 co-main event, Khalil Rountree Jr. made it five wins in a row with another brutal knockout, this time against short-notice opponent Anthony Smith.

The highlight of the UFC Vegas 83 preliminary card has to be undefeated 23-year-old Tatsuro Taira, who extended his record to 15-0-0 with a shutout second-round TKO of Carlos Hernandez. With five wins now inside the Octagon, Taira is legitimately one of the best prospects in the sport and should see a ranked opponent next.
