Louis Smolka excited for short notice ‘chaos’ at UFC on ESPN 9: ‘This is my forte’

If it were up to Louis Smolka, he’d take short notice opportunities for every fight.

“Da Last Samurai” joined MMA Fighting for an exclusive interview to discuss training during the COVID-19 pandemic, having his scheduled fight with Davey Grant at UFC Columbus postponed, why he is so excited to compete under these kinds of conditions, similarities with his opponent, plans for a very active 2020, and more.
