UFC Fight Night 76 results: Louis Smolka silences Dublin, taps Paddy Holohan

Louis Smolka

DUBLIN – Promoted twice from co-main event to headliner on a card saddled by last-minute withdrawals, Paddy Holohan and Louis Smolka repaid the crowd with a show.

Ultimately, Smolka’s (10-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) technical proficiency won the day with a second-round submission against the gangly Holohan (12-2-1 MMA, 3-2 UFC), who kept charging and made his opponent work for every position.

The flyweight bout was the main event of today’s UFC Fight Night 76 event at 3Arena in Dublin. It streamed on UFC Fight Pass.
