Anthony Smith Form


Anthony Smith’s rode a three-fight win streak to a light-heavyweight title shot in 2019.

Knockout wins over Rashad Evans and Mauricio Rua, as well as a submission victory over Volkan Oezdemir, earned him the shot at then-champion Jon Jones.

Smith was comprehensively beaten on the night, losing on the scorecards despite Jones having two points deducted.

Smith rebounded by submitting Alexander Gustaffson a few months later, but he was unable to build on that.

‘Lionheart’ was knocked out by Glover Teixeira and dropped a decision to Aleksander Rakic.

He ended 2020 on a positive not by submitting Devin Clark inside a round, and he then made it back-to-back wins with a stoppage success against Jimmy Crute in April.

Ryan Spann Form


Ryan Spann has climbed the light-heavyweight ladder by going 5-1 since signing with the UFC.

He made an early impression in his UFC career with a first-round knockout of Antonio Rogerio Nogueira.

He followed that up by tapping out Devin Clark before edging a split decision win over Sam Alvey.

His rise up the 205lb ladder was halted in September 2020 as he was finished inside a round by Johnny Walker.

Spann did rebound though, knocking out Mischa Cirkunov in March of this year.
