Aleksandar Rakic successfully rebounded from the first loss of his UFC career on Saturday night by dominating former light heavyweight title challenger Anthony Smith. While the bout was far from the slugfest many expected, Rakic proved himself a man with deeper talents than just knockout power by showing off dominant wrestling and top game skills in grinding out the win.

Rakic entered the night ranked No. 7 in the CBS Sports UFC divisional rankings. With his victory, he has moved up one spot to No. 6. Smith previously held that No. 6 spot, but after his second consecutive loss in which he was thoroughly dominated, has dropped to the No. 9 spot. At this point, it seems unlikely he ever gets another crack at the light heavyweight title.

Saturday's UFC Fight Night: Overeem vs. Sakai card features just one fight involving a CBS Sports ranked fighter:

Light Heavyweight: No. 6 Alistair Overeem vs. Augusto Sakai
