"Smith is still circling another fight, after submitting Niko Price at UFC 317 in June. "Looking for another fight. Waiting for that call," he told media outlets including Cageside Press on Tuesday. Looking back to the Price bout, "I overcame a lot, not only in the cage, but outside in preparing for that fight," he recalled. "Fight camp wasn't easy. A lot of bumps in the road, but I think I handled it well.""
""I'm at a stage in my career where whatever comes, you know? No set anything. Whatever comes, I'll be ready for it." Again, however, Smith is open-minded, if realistic about his finances. "At the moment, I believe give me a fight as quick as possible. Place doesn't matter, but also I am being smart with money on the back end, and taxes are a motherf*cker.""
