Former light heavyweight title challenger Anthony Smith is set to return to action against surging prospect Jamahal Hill.
It has been a tough run for Smith as of late, having had his three-fight winning streak snapped by a TKO loss to Magomed Ankalaev in July after succumbing to an ankle injury. Juxtaposed to this is Hill, who is riding a three-fight streak of his own, only losing one fight in his entire career and getting knockouts in all but one of his UFC victories.
Anthony Smith vs Jamahal Hill Set For March
Reports emerged on Thanksgiving Eve, revealing that the light heavyweight division would have a crucial matchup on March 11th, as Anthony Smith and Jamahal Hill are expected to throw down in a main event. At the time of writing, there is no word on where this bout will take place, or what other fights will happen on this card.
This is a fight that brings with it and added level of importance, in the wake of the announcement that champ Ji?í Procházka vacated the title due to a severe shoulder injury, leaving Jan Blachowicz vs Magomed Ankalaev to be for the vacant title.
With Smith and Hill being ranked 5th and 6th respectively, the winner of this bout is sure to be on the short list for the next title shot.
