Storied career ends with defeat
Smith lost to Zhang Mingyang via TKO (elbows) at 4:03 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Kansas City.
Impact
It was announced in the lead up to this event that this fight would be the 60th and final one of Smith's storied career. It took place just a few hours away from his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska with all his family and friends in attendance. The result, while predictable, is irrelevant. Smith got cut on the forehead following an elbow from Zhang and was then finished after repeated unanswered blows late in Round 1. It doesn't really matter. The career of the 36-year-old is even more remarkable when you consider he went just 5-5 in his first 10 pro fights. He fought for Strikeforce, Bellator, and had two stints in the UFC. Smith challenged Jon Jones for the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship back in March 2019 and had wins over the likes of Alexander Gustafsson, Mauricio Rua, and Rashad Evans during his time with the company. Enjoy retirement, "Lionheart."
