Earns late-notice debut win

Smotherman defeated Jake Hadley via unanimous decision (30-26, 29-27, 29-27) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.

ANALYSIS
In for Brady Hiestand (undisclosed) on just days' notice, Smotherman went out and put forth an excellent, wholly-unexpected performance. He didn't overwhelm Hadley but appeared calm and comfortable at all times. He was clearly going to win a decision, but the scorecards become more lopsided after Hadley was docked a point for repeated eye pokes. While the result is great, it remains to be seen how much of this is sustainable. Our lone exposure to Smotherman prior to this bout was on Dana White's Contender Series in August 2023, and he was knocked out by Charalampos Grigoriou in exactly a minute that evening.
