This is the UFC Jacksonville live blog for Anthony Smith vs. Glover Teixeira, the light heavyweight headliner for Wednesday’s fight card at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Fla.
Smith returns 11 months after a win over three-time UFC title challenger Alexander Gustafsson, which follows a failed bid for the title held by Jon Jones. Teixeira has won three consecutive fights, most recently outpointing Nikita Krylov.
Round 1: The third man in the cage for the main event is Jason Herzog. Smith comes out early and backs Teixeira up.
