Dana White Sets Lineups for UFC Fight Nights for May

UFC president Dana White has announced official fight cards for two UFC Fight Night events in Jacksonville, Florida, on May 13 and May 16, according to ESPN's Brett Okamoto. The fights will follow UFC 249, which is set for May 9 in Jacksonville.

The May 13 event will be headlined by a light heavyweight bout between two former title contenders: Glover Teixeira and Anthony Smith. Teixeira previously fought for the light heavyweight title at UFC 172, losing to Jon Jones. Smith lost his title fight at UFC 235, also to Jones. Teixeira and Smith were originally slated to fight on April 25 in Nebraska, a plan that was scrapped due to the coronavirus pandemic.
