A former UFC Light Heavyweight Contender that has stumbled a bit in the last few years. The 36-year-old is currently on a two-fight skid, with his losses coming against Roman Dolidze (UFC 303) and Dominick Reyes (UFC 310). Overall, Smith has only won two out of his last six fights, and his opponent won’t be any easier. The UFC Light Heavyweight is currently No. 15 in the divisional rankings. Smith’s record is 37 wins and 21 losses. 

On weight for his biggest fight 👊

Zhang Mingyang is on a 11-fight winning streak. The UFC Light Heavyweight took the division by storm in 2024 by scoring a devastating knockout on Tuco Tokkos. In fact, Zhang has only won his fights in the UFC by knockout. The hot newcomer will likely creep into the division rankings if he beats Anthony Smith. Mingyang’s record currently stands at 18 wins and 6 losses.
