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."
"It was a little bit more than I expected. Usually when I slam people like that they turn into their belly trying to get up. He throwing hammer fists this way, that way, left, right, giving me eggs on my eyes."
