Anthony Smith thinks he can still become UFC champion, which is why he hasn’t stopped fighting.
The veteran returns to the octagon this Saturday in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 225 in Singapore. Smith (36-18 MMA, 11-8 UFC) looks to snap a two-fight skid and re-insert himself into the title picture with a win in this upcoming rematch against Ryan Spann (21-8 MMA, 7-3 UFC).
“The whole reason I’m still here and still in this journey is the title,” Smith said at UFC Fight Night 225 media day. “The second that I think that I can’t win it or that it’s too far out of reach, then I’ll be done doing this.”
