Jimmy Smith’s UFC tenure is coming to an end. The longtime commentator announced today on Twitter that the promotion declined to renew his contract, making him a free agent just one year after signing with the industry-leader. Now that the New Year has arrived I’m afraid I have to announce that the UFC has declined to re-sign me and my time with the promotion has come to an end. I just want to thank everyone at the promotion who made me feel welcome and appreciate at every single show. — Jimmy Smith (@jimmysmithmma) January 1, 2019 Smith thanked UFC staff and fighters as well as those who watched his work.
