UFC Fight Night live stream: How to watch Smith v Teixeira - TV channel and UK start time
Anthony Smith and Glover Teixeira go head to head in the Octagon tonight for a UFC Fight Night
UFC fans are being treated to three doses of action this week, starting with last weekend's dramatic UFC 249 and continuing with a UFC Fight Night in Jacksonville tonight.
Anthony Smith will face Glover Teixeira in a light heavyweight showdown behind closed doors in Florida, in a bout that was originally slated to take place several weeks ago.
The success of UFC 249 means the sport looks set to continue tentatively, using US-based fighters to prevent long treks during lockdown.
Smith lost a tense showdown with current pound-for-pound champion Jon Jones at UFC 235 in March last year but bounced back with a commanding victory over Alexander Gustafsson in Stockholm last June.
He is the favourite against 40-year-old Brazilian fighter Teixeira. The veteran has enjoyed a streak of three victories on the bounce, but was comprehensively picked apart by Gustafsson the last time he headlined a UFC Fight Night in 2017.
