The UFC light heavyweight division is set for a thrilling showdown as two former title challengers, Anthony Smith and Dominick Reyes, are expected to face off at UFC 310 on December 14 in Las Vegas. This bout, confirmed by multiple sources close to the promotion, promises to be a pivotal moment for both fighters as they look to reclaim their standing in the division.
Anthony "Lionheart" Smith is no stranger to the highs and lows of the octagon. With 23 UFC appearances under his belt, Smith has seen it all—from title fights to comeback victories. After a disappointing loss to Roman Dolidze at UFC 303 in June, Smith is eager to turn the tide. Earlier in 2024, he stunned the MMA world with a first-round guillotine submission against the undefeated Vitor Petrino at UFC 301, marking one of the biggest upsets of the year. Reflecting on his career, Smith stated,
Dominick "The Devastator" Reyes is also on a mission to regain his momentum. After a grueling 19-month hiatus, Reyes returned to action at UFC Louisville in June, where he secured a first-round finish against Dustin Jacoby. This victory was his first since his 2019 knockout of Chris Weidman at UFC Boston. Reyes has faced his share of challenges, including a controversial decision loss to Jon Jones and a series of brutal knockouts at the hands of Jan Blachowicz, Jiri Prochazka, and Ryan Spann.
As UFC 310 approaches, both Smith and Reyes know that this fight could define the next chapter of their careers. With their backs against the wall, the stakes have never been higher. Will Smith’s experience and resilience prevail, or will Reyes’ power and determination lead him back to title contention?
