Despite his tenure in Strikeforce (RIP) and a brief UFC stint, Anthony Smith has not received significant recognition from fans.
After 10 years as a professional, the 29-year-old has a chance to steal the spotlight in his main event bout against Mauricio Shogun Rua at UFC Hamburg.
At 6’4, Smith was a massive middleweight, thrashing countless opponents with power and fury. Over time he has refined his approach and emphasized accuracy, timing, and craft to land game-changing strikes. His first go at light heavyweight was a brief, nasty affair against Rashad Evans.
