FIGHTER INFO
"I detest decisions," said the six-foot-tall, 30-year-old of Elk Grove, CA, by way of Reno, NV. "Only one of my fights have gone the distance and I hated it. Fans want action and they know I come to war, that I'm a fighter. I think they love the fact I love to engage, that I keep punching until I knock out out. They can read that when they watch me in the cage."

The hard-hitting, never-say-die Smith is no stranger to dramatic, stirring, come-from-behind victories. He rallied to knock out Benji Radach on April 1, 2009, at HP Pavilion and registered a highlight-reel second-round KO over the UFC’s Pete Sell on Nov. 11, 2006. Smith, however, may have outdone himself with his courageous performance against Le, coming back from the brink of absolute defeat to triumph by third-round knockout last Dec. 19 at HP Pavilion. Smith had taken a frightful beating for two-and-a-half-rounds as southpaw Le. But Smith, a proven finisher who has never turned down a challenge, summoned the energy and heart – again – to twice drop Le. After he connected twice on a downed Le, the referee stepped in and halted the exciting battle at 3:25.

On Saturday, June 26, at HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif., on SHOWTIME®, Smith will attempt to make it two consecutive victories over Cung Le in a middleweight (185 pounds) rematch of one of the most incredible Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) comeback victories of all-time.
