Light heavyweight veteran Anthony Smith will attempt to win in enemy territory on May 4 as he takes on emerging contender Vitor Petrino on the main card of UFC 301.
Smith (37-19, 12-8 in UFC) has been at the top of the division since his debut at 205 pounds in 2018. However, at 35 years old, Smith has faltered of late, going just 1-3 in his last four fights. Smith last fought in December 2023, losing to Khalil Rountree Jr. by TKO in the third round.
Petrino (11-0, 4-0 in UFC) will return to fight in Brazil after just doing so at UFC São Paulo in November 2023.
