Ozdemir and Smith will meet on October 27 in Canada

UFC light heavyweight clash of Volkan Ozdemir and Anthony Smith will headline the UFC Fight Night 138 tournament, which will be held on October 27 in Moncton, Canada.

Ozdemir (15-2) recently withdrew from fights against Mauricio Roy and Alexander Gustafsson due to visa problems and a fractured nose, respectively. His last fight Ozdemir had in January, losing by technical knockout to the champion Daniel Cormier.

Smith (30-13) joined the UFC in February 2016 and held six fights in the middleweights, scoring four wins and suffered two defeats. This year, the American decided to rise up to the light heavyweights, where he had already knocked out veterans Rashad Evans and Mauricio Roy.
