As a result of the change, the light heavyweight bout between former title challenger Anthony Smith and Devin Clark will serve as the new five-round main event and the card will continue with 10 fights. That wasn't the only drama today, though, as former featherweight Norma Dumont Viana came in at 139.5 pounds for her bantamweight bout. She has been fined a percentage of her purse, and the match against Ashlee Evans-Smith should continue as planned.
This marks the seventh straight main event for Smith (33-16). "Lionheart" is looking to bounce back from two straight losses to Glover Teixeira and Aleksandar Rakic. Meanwhile, Clark (12-4) is looking for the biggest win of his career and is riding a two-fight win streak over Alonzo Menifield and Dequan Townsend. Both of the new headliners made weight, with Smith coming in at 205 pounds while Clark hit the 204.5-pound mark.
UFC on ESPN 18 will stream in its entirety on ESPN+ and begins at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. The six-fight main card will also air on ESPN2 starting at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT.
