Jacobe Smith of Fortis MMA could soon be receiving a phone call from UFC following his performance at Fury FC86.
The Oklahoma 28-year-old undefeated created a highlight that will probably be discussed for the remainder of his career. It was enough to impress with the 18-second knockout by Jared McCloughlin.
Smith slammed McLoughlin to the floor with a devastating right hand, and then added one more shot to complete the victory. The impressive knockout marked his second straight first-round finish and sixth in eight professional fights. There’s no doubt he’s an explosive finisher.
What happened next was just a total surprise. Smith’s celebration was interesting, hilarious, and equal parts perplexing.
