Jacobe Smith VS Bruce Whitehead

Jacobe Smith stopped Bruce Whitehead by TKO at 1:32 of the first round in their welterweight bout at UFC 332 on October 3, 2026, in Salt Lake City. Smith secured a takedown early, established top position, and finished with ground-and-pound as referee Marc Goddard halted the contest. The finish extended Smith's professional record to 13-0, moving him to 4-0 in the UFC with all four wins coming by first-round stoppage. Whitehead, stepping in on short notice for his promotional debut, fell to 8-3.

Undefeated prospect Jacobe Smith (12-0) stepped up on nine days' notice and has finished all three of his UFC opponents — two by first-round KO and one by submission — making him one of the most dangerous at-large finishers in the welterweight division. He faces Bruce Whitehead, an Octagon newcomer just 13 days removed from a knockout main-event win, in a short-notice clash that could very well end before the second round.
