This is the UFC Kansas City live blog for Anthony Smith vs. Zhang Mingyang, the light heavyweight co-main event on Saturday at T-Mobile Center.

Saturday will be Smith’s 25th walk to the octagon, and also his last. A one-time light heavyweight title challenger, Smith has been a staple of the UFC since 2016 but at just 2-5 over his past seven fights, Smith is ready to move on to the next phase of his career.
