Jacobe Smith emerged victorious in Week 8 of Dana White's Contender Series (DWCS), defeating Christien Savoie via TKO in the second round at 2:55. Smith, a standout wrestler from Oklahoma State University, dominated the fight with relentless ground-and-pound, primarily using elbows. Despite Savoie's efforts to defend and counter, Smith's pressure and wrestling skills proved overwhelming. The bout was marked by a controversial moment where Smith landed an illegal strike to the back of Savoie's head, but the referee, Mark Smith, did not deduct a point. Smith's performance, which improved his professional record to 9-0, is expected to earn him a UFC contract.
