Jacobe Smith will make his fourth octagon appearance on short notice, with the undefeated welterweight officially added to UFC 332 in Salt Lake City this Saturday against newcomer Bruce Whitehead (8-2).

The promotion confirmed the matchup on Monday, nine days out from the event. Smith earned his UFC contract through Dana White’s Contender Series in 2024 and has been flawless since, going 3-0 inside the octagon without a single fight reaching the judges. Of his 12 professional wins, nine have come by knockout, including a first-round KO over Josiah Harrell at UFC Houston in February.

Whitehead arrives having spent his entire pro career at Texas-based Fury FC. He enters on a two-fight winning streak and is riding the momentum of a 48-second TKO over Ali Abouzalam on September 20 — a result that makes his own turnaround to Saturday equally swift.

The main event at UFC 332 is a vacant flyweight title fight between Natalia Silva and Wang Cong.
