UFC on ESPN 18 Results: Smith Chokes Clark, Baeza Taps Sato

On Saturday, Nov. 28, the UFC hosted its 18th broadcast on ESPN from the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The event once again featured no fans in attendance due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The event was slated to be headlined by heavyweight contender Curtis Blaydes and former title challenger Derrick Lewis. However, Blaydes tested positive for COVID-19 and the bout was scrapped just before weigh-ins began.

As a result of the change, the light heavyweight match-up between former title challenger Anthony Smith and Devin Clark moved into the night’s top billing.
