Anthony Smith

"Lionheart". That's what they call Anthony Smith, and is part of the UFC light heavyweight division's deep end, fighting out of the United States — 60 pro fights in, still swinging for a number next to his name.

The record shows a bit of everything: knockouts (20), submissions (15), decisions (3). Well-rounded is an overused word; here it's just accurate. Add a 76" reach, and the puzzle gets harder still.

The last fight went to Zhang Mingyang (KO/TKO (Elbows) R1) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.

He's 37 now. Fighters at this stage aren't building toward something; they're spending what's left, and that usually makes for the best fights.
