This is the UFC 301 live blog for Anthony Smith vs. Vitor Petrino, a featured main card light heavyweight fight on Saturday night in Rio de Janeiro.
One of the most well-tenured fighters in the UFC, Smith is a one-time light heavyweight title challenger, having fallen short against Jon Jones in 2019. Thus far, that remains the peak of his UFC career, and in recent years, “Lionheart” has begun to struggle inside the cage. Only 1-3 in his past four fights, questions have started to arise about how much Smith has left in the tank.
At 26 years old and undefeated, Petrino is arguably the most exciting prospect in the light heavyweight division. Since joining the UFC in 2023 off Contender Series, Petrino has racked up four wins in the promotion, and now he looks to jump into the top 10 with a win in his home country over a big-name veteran.
