As the Ultimate Fighting Championship continues its flyweight purge, former 125-pound competitor Louis Smolka will return to the Las Vegas-based promotion at bantamweight.
Smolka will face Sumudaerji Sumudaerji at UFC Fight Night 141 in Beijing on Nov. 24. Multiple outlets have confirmed the 135-pound booking following an initial report from MMA journalist James Lynch. UFC Fight Night 141 takes place at Cadillac Arena and is headlined by a heavyweight duel between Curtis Blaydes and Francis Ngannou. The card will stream in its entirety on UFC Fight Pass.
