UFC veteran Leslie Smith has signed a contract with Bellator MMA.
The fighter confirmed the deal following an initial report from Yahoo! Sports . A date for Smith’s promotional debut is currently unknown. Smith is expected to compete at featherweight in Bellator.
Smith was supposed to face Aspen Ladd at UFC Fight Night 128, but the April 2018 bout was canceled when her opponent missed weight. The fight was scheduled to be Smith’s final fight in her UFC contract, but the promotion elected instead to pay her show and win money while terminating her deal.
