Smith is the clear favorite in this fight; however, we will be targeting a round prop.

Smith, on the other hand, does not have much UFC experience, but has still seen 2 of his 4 UFC fights start the third round. Because Grant has proven to be a fighter who can prolong his fights, backing this fight to start the third round will be our best bet.
