By the time the fourth round ended, Smith had been brutalized to the point of losing multiple teeth. The fight was finally and most mercifully stopped in the fifth round.<\/p>\n<p>While this fight certainly didn&#8217;t go the way Smith planned, he more than lived up to his nickname &#8220;Lionheart,&#8221; hanging in there through a veritable blizzard of punishment from Teixeira.<\/p>\n<p>His gutsiness earned him a bit of post-fight props from Reyes, who he could easily wind up fighting down the road.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Smith, lionheart suits you &#x2694;<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Dominick Reyes (@DomReyes) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DomReyes\/status\/1260788767188643841?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 14, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Smith, Lionheart suits you,&#8221; Reyes wrote on Twitter on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to his lopsided loss to Teixeira, Smith was riding a career-best submission victory over multiple-time light heavyweight title challenger Alexander Gustafsson. This win was preceded by a decision loss to reigning UFC light heavyweight king Jon Jones.<\/p>\n<p>Reyes, on the other hand, has not fought since he came up short in a February title fight with Jones. While the judges awarded that fight to Jones, many fans and pundits\u2014and UFC President Dana White himself\u2014believed that the decision was backwards and that Reyes should have been named the victor.<\/p>\n<p>Ever since his war with Jones, Reyes has been chomping at the bit for a rematch.
