Jimmy Crute saw his momentum come to a halt in the most unfortunate way. In his biggest opportunity to date, Crute (12-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) drew former light heavyweight title challenger Anthony Smith this past weekend at UFC 261, but his fight was stopped in a situation out of his control. Smith (35-16 MMA, 10-6 UFC) threw an array of leg kicks early, landing a hard one midway through Round 1, which dropped Crute. The 25-year-old Aussie was visibly hurt, forcing him to shoot right for the takedown, which he got. He kept Smith down for the remainder of the round, but when he tried to get up to walk back to his corner, his leg gave out. The sight of his ankle rolling prompted doctors to wave the fight off, much to the chagrin of Crute
