Former UFC light heavyweight title challenger Anthony Smith missed weight for his role as a backup fighter for the UFC 283 main event between Glover Teixeira and Jamahal Hill.
Smith was scheduled to step in as a replacement if either Teixeira or Hill could not compete due to injury or other reasons. However, Smith weighed in four pounds over the 205-pound title limit, hitting the scales at 209 pounds.
As a result, he will not be eligible to win the light heavyweight title if he steps in to fight either Teixeira or Hill in the main event.
