Former title challengers Anthony
Smith and Dominick
Reyes are expected to trade leather at UFC 310 on Dec. 14 at
the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The matchup was first reported by
MMA Mania.
Smith is 2-4 in the Octagon since 2022. He is coming off a
unanimous decision loss against Roman
Dolidze at UFC 303 this past June. Prior to that, “Lionheart”
submitted Vitor
Petrino in the first round of their bout at UFC 301 on May
4.
Meanwhile, Reyes suffered three straight knockout defeats against
Jan
Blachowicz, Jiri
Prochazka and Ryan Spann
following his controversial loss against Jon Jones in
February 2020. While “The Devastator” was scheduled to return to
action after a 19-month hiatus this past February, his return was
delayed due to a deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a potentially life
threatening situation. Reyes return to action in June with a
first-round knockout win over Dustin
Jacoby.
