Monday marked the first day of spring, which means Anthony Smith is finally approaching his return to the Octagon.
Smith will match up against Johnny Walker on May 13, headlining a UFC Fight Night. It is a long-awaited opportunity for Smith, who has not competed in the cage since last July against Magomed Ankalaev.
“I’ve fought once a year for the last three years,” says Smith (36–17). “Every time I have momentum, I feel like I’m hurt. I’d like to rattle off at least two or three this year.”
