“The Last Samurai” announced via Twitter on Friday that he will be fighting at a Gladiator Challenge event on April 21. The promotion has not yet confirmed the news.
When reached by BloodyElbow.com Friday night, Smolka (11-5) said he was “told” he will be facing Ralph Acosta (18-12), but that he has yet to sign a contract.
April 21st I'll be fighting in Palm Springs at Agua Caliente Resort. I'm excited to showcase what I've been working on and to test free agency. If you guys want to come and check out the fights I have tickets for $45 and I'll be looking for sponsors as well.
