Making a short-notice return to the Octagon at UFC Vegas 83 this weekend, one-time light heavyweight title challenger, Anthony Smith has voiced his desire to fight for the division’s crown once more, and no better opponent to attempt that feat against in the form of rival, Alex Pereira.
Smith, the current number eight ranked light heavyweight contender, has been sidelined since he featured in the co-main event of UFC Singapore back in August, landing a second split decision win over Ryan Spann in the pair’s rematch in Asia.
And booked to make a short-notice clash this weekend, Smith takes on The Ultimate Fighter alum, Khalil Rountree Jr.
