Ultimate Fighting Championship matchmakers are scrambling to find a replacement for Britain’s Jimi Manuwa after his scheduled opponent, Glover Teixeira, withdrew their fight at next month’s UFC Fight Night 137 with an injury.

According to reports, Manuwa rejected rejected a fight against the heavy-hitting Thiago Santos and now surging light heavyweight Anthony Smith, who’s taken out UFC legends Rashad Evans and Mauricio “Shogun” Rua in his last two fights, says he’s happy to step in despite the fact he’s already fighting Volkan Oezdemir in October at UFC Fight Night 138.

Smith’s eagerness to volunteer himself to fight only a month before his next scheduled bout didn’t go down too well with his opponent Oezdemir, who responded in kind.



UFC Fight Night 137 takes place Sept. 22 at Ibirapuera Gymnasium in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
