The UFC is gearing up for its final pay-per-view of the year, scheduling a compelling light heavyweight about between Anthony Smith and Dominick Reyes at UFC 310 on December 7. The fight will take place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with both former title challengers looking to make a statement in the octagon.

Anthony Smith (37-20), currently ranked No. 12 in the light heavyweight division, will aim to bounce back after a recent loss to Roman Dolidze at UFC 303 in June. Smith has been alternating wins and losses in his last few fights, and his last victory came at UFC 301, where he earned MMA Junkie’s Submission of the Month for his impressive two-minute submission win over Vitor Petrino. With his experience and finishing ability, Smith will be eager to regain momentum and move up the rankings.

On the other hand, Dominick Reyes (13-4) enters the fight with renewed confidence after securing a dominant two-minute knockout victory over Dustin Jacoby. This marked Reyes' first win since 2020, snapping a four-fight losing streak that included his controversial title challenge against Jon Jones at UFC 247. The No. 13 ranked light heavyweight will look to build on his recent success and climb back into title contention with another strong performance.

UFC officials confirmed the highly anticipated matchup on Saturday, following a report from MMA Mania’s Alex Behunin in August. Both Smith and Reyes are known for their toughness and ability to finish fights, making this bout a must-watch for fans of the light heavyweight division.

As both fighters seek to re-establish themselves among the division’s elite, the clash between Smith and Reyes promises to deliver excitement and high stakes. Who will emerge victorious and move one step closer to another title shot?
