Louis Smolka doesn’t plan on leaving Las Vegas this time around without competing inside the octagon first.
Smolka is scheduled to face Jose Quinonez at this Saturday’s UFC Vegas 16 event in a matchup that was originally supposed to take place a little less than one month ago. The fight was cancelled hours before UFC Vegas 14 was scheduled to begin when he was pulled due to being “deemed medically unfit” to compete, according to the promotion.
The morning before UFC Vegas 14, “Da Last Samurai” stepped on the scales at 139 pounds, three pounds over the non-title bantamweight limit.
