Jacobe Smith gets his fourth UFC fight on nine days’ notice Saturday at #UFC332

Before MMA, he was an NCAA All-American at Oklahoma State, 2x NJCAA champ and 2x Fargo All-American. He’s now 12-0 in MMA and 3-0 in the UFC with three finishes.

@realkevink Dominant victory against the GOAT. He deserves the winner of Islam vs Garry.

[Robert Gillespie @Bob_Gilly1]

@AOUREDOO He made his pro debut 10 months ago, he should have filled on the holes in his game by now. Unacceptable.

[Robert Gillespie @Bob_Gilly1]

@americanjitsu Gable was 0/12 on takedown attempts and landed one lucky punch to win the fight. Mid is an understatement.

[Robert Gillespie @Bob_Gilly1]

@NoBickal I didn’t see the fight, but MMA twitter said that Gable tried hard over and over for a takedown but was continuously stuffed with ease. And then he was saved by landing a lucky punch.

[Robert Gillespie @Bob_Gilly1]

@LiamPicksFights You were stunned that he made a single takedown entry, was in deep on a double leg, bailed to defend a guillotine, and then didn't make another attempt because he had the obvious advantage on the feet?

[Robert Gillespie @Bob_Gilly1]

@ZacPauga He’s fast and athletic, not to mention the wrestling pedigree. He will go far at heavyweight, even without an ideal body type.

[Robert Gillespie @Bob_Gilly1]

@fenoxsky His takedown wasn’t stuffed. He made a seamless double leg entry, was in deep, but ended up bailing to defend a guillotine, fairplay to his opponent. He had the obvious advantage on the feet, so there was no need to wrestle.

[Robert Gillespie @Bob_Gilly1]

@MMAdamMartin He made a single takedown attempt, was in deep, but bailed to defend guillotine. Had obvious advantage on the feet, he didn’t need to shoot again.

[Robert Gillespie @Bob_Gilly1]

@lthomasnews It’s a bit ignorant to assume he would carry a similar gameplan against a top level striker.

[Robert Gillespie @Bob_Gilly1]

@ChickenKingMMA In theory, this is one of the most intriguing matchups the UFC could make. But, it absolutely will not happen anytime soon.

[Robert Gillespie @Bob_Gilly1]

@Grabaka_Hitman Do people not understand that Gable would have a much different strategy if he were fighting a top level striker?

[Robert Gillespie @Bob_Gilly1]

@arielhelwani Good debut. Looked fast and was not afraid of throwing in the pocket.

[Robert Gillespie @Bob_Gilly1]

@CasualMMAinc People complain when Hokit is too outspoken and they complain when Gable is too stoic smh.

[Robert Gillespie @Bob_Gilly1]

@MMA__Matchmaker His standup will improve at a fast rate, his approach will be more wrestling-focused against good strikers, and the heavyweight division is weak. He could easily beat guys in the top 15 right now.

[Happy Punch @HappyPunch]

The fastest KO in MMA history might’ve just happened at LFA

Put him out COLD 😳
