Anthony Smith suffers TKO loss in post-arrest return at Gamebred
Former UFC light-heavyweight contender Anthony Smith lost by TKO in his first fight since a July felony arrest. The bout, part of a $500,000 tournament in the Dominican Republic, ended in the second round after Smith was taken down and struck repeatedly. This marks his second appearance for Gamebred, following a stoppage win in April. Smith, who pleaded not guilty to charges including terroristic threats and false imprisonment, was granted travel permission by a court to compete. The loss extends his recent losing streak, with commentators noting his declining form since his 2025 retirement from the UFC.
