Anthony Smith Hopeful of Competing in August at UFC Fight Night Lincoln Card

UFC 225 is now available on Amazon Prime.

On Saturday June 9, Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight Anthony Smith is slated to take on former light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans as part of the prelims at UFC 225 inside the United Center in Chicago.

Smith (28-13), who used to compete at middleweight, found the weight cut to make 185 pounds a stretch which negatively impacted his family and teammates. He talked with MMA News’ Tim Thompson about his relief that he’s now fighting in a heavier division.
