Jacobe Smith sets title timeline ahead of UFC Vegas 123 co-main event

UFC Vegas 123 co-headliner Jacobe Smith says it won't be long until he's in the thick of the welterweight title conversation.

LAS VEGAS – Jacobe Smith, the 13-0 MMA fighter with a 4-0 UFC record, is gearing up for a significant challenge at UFC Fight Night 292 on Halloween. Set to face Randy Brown, a 20-8 MMA fighter with 14 UFC wins, Smith views the bout as his biggest test yet. Despite Brown's experience advantage, Smith believes he is the superior fighter and anticipates delivering an impressive performance.

Smith, 30, is not only focused on the immediate fight but also has aspirations for a top 15 UFC welterweight title bout in the near future. He envisions 2027 as his breakout year, aiming to secure a title fight early 2028 after a series of top 15 opponents.
