Encyclopedia
Bryan Scott Smith, is an American
mixed martial artist
previously fighting at middleweight
for the Ultimate Fighting Championship
making his debut at UFC 59
. He also fought for EliteXC before it folded and currently fights for Strikeforce
. Smith is noted for his come-from-behind, knockout victories over Cung Le
, Benji Radach
, and Pete Sell
.
and Gladiator Challenge shows across the United States. While successful in the smaller promotions, Smith's first major appearance in the mixed martial arts world came in the World Extreme Cagefighting
organization. Smith entered a WEC light heavyweight
tournament with limited name recognition, but was branded by experts as the dark horse
of the competition.
Smith defeated WEC veteran Tim McKenzie in the semi-finals. With that victory, Smith was slated to fight Justin Levens
in the tournament finals; Levens, however, was halted on doctor's advice due to a shoulder injury he sustained in his semi-final bout. The tournament alternate, Tait Fletcher
, was brought into the championship round instead. Smith made short work of Fletcher, scoring a first-round technical knockout to become the WEC Light Heavyweight Champion.
Smith would defend his championship from Justin Levens at WEC 18 before scheduling a fight with the Ultimate Fighting Championship
in April 2006, moving down a weight class to fight David Terrell
at UFC 59
. The fight – marked with questionable officiating – ended in controversial fashion, prompting Smith to file a complaint with the California State Athletic Commission. The referee called for a break, which Smith adhered to but Terrell did not hear. When Smith stopped fighting, Terrell quickly locked in a rear naked choke, which the referee did not break. Smith was forced to tap out and protested immediately.
Smith was then seen as a middleweight contestant on The Ultimate Fighter: The Comeback
, where he quickly lost his quarterfinal matchup against Travis Lutter
. Smith appeared on the season finale, knocking out Pete Sell
in the second round of a very exciting fight in a sequence that saw Smith sustain a hard punch to the liver, and throw the bout-winning knockout punch before falling to the ground in pain.
Smith lost his next fight in the UFC by decision against Patrick Cote
at UFC 67
. http://www.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=eventDetail.FightCard&eid=386 More recently, Smith defeated Troy Miller by technical knockout at Palace Fighting Championship 2 in Lemoore, California
. He lost against Ed Herman
at UFC 72. Herman submitted Smith with a rear naked choke at 2:25 in the second round after Herman landed a nasty elbow on Smith in the first round covering his face in blood.
seven seconds into round two.
The victory earned him a title shot against Robbie Lawler
. The bout was declared a no contest after an accidental poke in the eye in the third round. The first two rounds were so exciting that Gary Shaw
awarded both fighters their win bonuses and announced an immediate rematch. Smith lost the subsequent rematch to Lawler via TKO on July 26, 2008, at EliteXC: Unfinished Business
. At Strikeforce: Destruction
, Smith took a fight with Terry Martin
with one week's notice and beat Martin in the 1st round by KO.
at Strikeforce: Shamrock vs. Diaz
on April 11, 2009. Smith defeated Radach by knocking him out in the third round. Radach had, for the majority of the fight, showcased his ability as the more refined striker, and was arguably heading toward a unanimous decision victory until Smith caught him with a flush straight right late on in round three and followed up with strikes to seal a dramatic victory.
On June 6, 2009, Smith was matched up with Nick Diaz
at a catchweight of 180 lb. during Strikeforce: Lawler vs. Shields, losing via Rear Naked Choke at 1:19 of the third round.
Smith fought Cung Le
at Strikeforce: Evolution
on December 19, 2009. Despite being dominated throughout most of the fight, Smith won via third round knock out and became the first man to ever defeat Cung Le. Smith fought Le again in a rematch with at Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Werdum
on June 26, 2010. Smith lost by KO.
Smith fought Paul Daley
in a welterweight bout on December 4, 2010, at Strikeforce: Henderson vs. Babalu. Daley knocked out Smith via a KO (punch) at 2:09 of round 1. As Smith was throwing a punch, Daley caught him with a hook. Smith has seen mixed results since being released by the UFC, going 5-5 with 1 NC.
Smith took some time off after his loss to Daley, trying to heal up some injuries and rejuvenate his ground game. He faced Tarec Saffiedine
at Welterweight at the Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Henderson
event. He lost the bout via unanimous decision.
