Dominick Reyes put a beating on Anthony Smith during the UFC 310 featured prelim ahead of Saturday’s main card on pay-per-view.

Reyes came out aggressive and led the dance for the majority of the opening round. Though that’s not to say Smith didn’t have his moments. ‘Lionheart’ managed to land a few nice right hands during the stand-up battle, but it was Reyes who landed the more significant strikes, particularly in the final 30 seconds of the round when he really started to open up and tag Smith.

Things really started to get out of hand in the second with Reyes lighting up Smith with a slew of elbows against the fence. By the two-minute mark of the round, Reyes had outstruck ‘Lionheart’ 42-0. Reyes continued to pour it on as Smith accepted his position on the mat with 90 seconds to go.

With the clock winding down and Smith doing nothing to improve his position, referee Marc Goddard finally decided to step in and call for the stoppage, awarding Reyes his second straight win inside the Octagon.

Official Result: Dominick Reyes def. Anthony Smith via TKO (strikes) at 4:46 of Round 2.

Following the fight, Smith stopped short of announcing his retirement from mixed martial arts but stated that this would “probably” be his last fight inside the Octagon.

Anthony Smith vs. Dominick Reyes Targeted For UFC 310

Smith is coming off a loss to Roman Dolidze at UFC 303 this past June. “Lionheart” was just less than two months removed from his previous fight, defeating Vitor Petrino at the Brazil-held UFC 301 in May.

The veteran contender has consistently traded wins and losses over the past couple of years since challenging Jon Jones for the UFC light heavyweight title in the main event of UFC 235, losing a decision.

Reyes, meanwhile, competed at UFC Fight Night Louisville in June, knocking out Dustin Jacoby in two minutes. It was “The Devastator’s” first fight since a loss to Ryan Spann at UFC 281 in 2022 and his first victory since defeating Chris Weidman in Boston in October 2019.

His four-fight losing skid in the time between began with an unsuccessful challenge of Jones at UFC 247, losing via a controversial decision.

A battle between former light heavyweight title challengers Anthony Smith and Dominick Reyes has been earmarked for December.

According to a report from MMA Mania’s Alex Behunin, the former Jon Jones foes will step inside the Octagon this winter for a scrap at UFC 310. No additional details regarding the event have been revealed, but the card is rumored to go down on Saturday, December 14 inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

It will be Smith’s first time competing since a short-notice showdown with top-15-ranked middleweight Roman Dolidze at UFC 303 in June. ‘Lionheart’ came up short and has lost two of his last three, including a brutal third-round knockout loss to Khalil Rountree Jr. last December.

In between the two losses, Smith scored an upset over Vitor Petrino at UFC 301, submitting the Brazilian with a guillotine at the two-minute mark of the opening round.

Smith is a one-time UFC title challenger, facing then-light heavyweight titleholder Jon Jones at UFC 235 in 2019. ‘Bones’ handily defeated Smith via unanimous decision and ‘Lionheart’ has been trying to fight his way back to the belt ever since. Overall Smith is 37-20 in his mixed martial arts career, 13-10 inside the Octagon.

Dominick Reyes gunning for second straight win in octagon return

Meeting him inside the Octagon will be another man who knows a thing or two about overcoming adversity. After dropping a controversial decision to Jones in his first shot at the 205-pound crown, ‘The Devastator’ came up short in his next three fights, suffering a series of brutal KOs against Jan Blachowicz, Jiri Prochazka, Ryan Spann.

Earlier this year, Reyes was scheduled to face Carlos Ulberg. Not long after the bout was scrapped, Reyes discovered he had deep vein thrombosis—a blood clot that forms in a large vein, usually in the lower legs.

“I’m lucky to be alive right now, that’s always nice,” Reyes told MiddleEasy in February. “We caught it early, so it didn’t become a pulmonary embolism, and thank God for that.”

Reyes returned to the Octagon in June and earned an inspiring two-minute finish against Dustin Jacoby—his first victory in nearly five years.

‘The Devastator’ is 7-4 under the UFC banner, 13-4 overall.

Jon Jones hits back at Dominick Reyes amid jibe at legacy: ‘What a claim to fame, you almost beat me’

Jon Jones has hit back at former light heavyweight championship challenger, Dominick Reyes after the Californian claimed that despite his much-scrutinized legacy, he will have to know he should have lost to him back in 2020 in the pair’s title showdown.

Jones, a former two-time light heavyweight champion and a current heavyweight gold holder, took on Hesperia native, Reyes four years ago at UFC 247, successfully defending his light heavyweight crown in a controversial unanimous decision win over the then-undefeated contender in Texas.

And himself snapping a winless run of four straight fights since his defeat to Jones over the course of last weekend, Reyes was heralded for his first round win over Dustin Jacoby, stopping the contender with an impressive opening round knockout win.

Offering his thoughts on Jones’ legacy and much-discussed potential title unification fight with Tom Aspinall, Reyes claimed that the former will have to live with the fact he should have lost to him back in 2020.

“He (Jon Jones) doesn’t see Tom (Aspinall) or Curtis (Blaydes) as a long-standing champion,” Dominick Reyes said whilst discussing Jon Jones’ legacy. “And he sees them as ‘right now’. And he’s not worried about right now, he’s worried about forever.”

“But forever, he will also know that he lost to me, but maybe we could figure that out one day,” Dominick Reyes explained. “Oh yeah, it’s not a belief [that I beat him], it’s a fact – there’s a difference.”
