LINCOLN – Fighting ex-UFC champions has been great for Anthony Smith ’s resume. It’s also made him a victim of his own success. By clubbing Rashad Evans and Mauricio “Shogun” Rua in back-to-back wins, Smith (29-13 MMA, 6-3 UFC) was praised by some fans and dismissed by others who said he merely knocked over a few aging legends. Fighting Volkan Oezdemir (15-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC), a recent title challenger and a young fighter still on the upside of his career, is the result of Smith’s recent work. They’ll meet in the UFC Fight Night 138 in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada, in October
