Louis Smolka will be taking on UFC Ultimate Fighter 24 winner Tim Elliot this Saturday Night at UFC On Fox 24.
Smolka is on a losing streak he hopes to break as he enters the fight, but he is also looking for a specific feeling
“It’s scary, dude (Tim Elliot’s unpredictability),” Smolka said on MMA Junkie Radio. “It puckers up your butthole. It gives you a nice little adrenaline rush. I feel like that’s what we live for, you know? Like one of my favorite things is when you’re in the pocket, and you’re exchanging, and a guy throws a punch, and it whizzes right by your face, and you’re really scared. You could be like, ‘Oh, man, two inches to the right, and that could’ve knocked me out.’ That’s one of my favorite things, like, ‘Oh, I barely got out of the way of that.'”
The fighter was once ranked in the flyweight division top 10, but now he is ranked #12 while on his two fight losing skid.
Losing streak or not, the Hawaii native will be bringing his A game to the fight.
“I was going to bring my A game against Elliot anyway after that last fight,” Smolka said. “I was going to bring my A game no matter what. I was going to try my best to get this W. I need it, too. I lost freaking two in a row. This sucks. I need a win, already. What the hell?”
UFC On Fox 24 takes place on Saturday, April 15 from the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri with Demetrious Johnson and Wilson Reis headlining. Fightful is providing live coverage of the event.
