Former UFC light heavyweight contender Anthony Smith confirmed that, if necessary, he would be ready to replace one of the participants in the battle for the vacant belt Glover Teixeira - Jamal Hill.

“I will insure this fight. I will fly to Brazil and show 93 kg on the scales. They are both real professionals, so I don't think they will have any problems. But if, nevertheless, something goes wrong, I will be ready to come on as a replacement, ”the American is quoted as saying by ESPN.

Recall that the fight between Teixeira and Hill will headline the UFC 283 tournament, which will be held on January 21 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
