Cole Smith Takes on Mitch Gagnon at UFC Ottawa
We announced just over a week ago that Squamish, British Columbia’s Cole Smith had signed with the UFC. Well, now he has an opponent. “The Cole Train” will take on veteran Mitch Gagnon in his Octagon debut.
Smith steps in for the injured Brian Kelleher at UFC Ottawa on May 4.
Smith (6-0) is coming off his most dominant performance to date. A first-round submission victory over highly ranked Canadian Tyler Wilson at BFL 59. The 30-year-old turned pro in 2016 and amassed an impressive undefeated record.
The Sound Martial Arts product fought all but one of his professional bouts under the Battlefield Fight League banner, where he was the promotions bantamweight champion.
