Following the successful return of MMA action at UFC 249 over the weekend, the UFC held the second of their comeback events in Florida on Wednesday night.

The latest (rescheduled) edition of UFC Fight Night - which also took place behind closed doors at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville - was headlined by veteran Glover Teixeira's light-heavyweight bout against Anthony Smith.

The 40-year-old Brazilian dominated the main-event contest at an empty arena, securing a deserved fourth successive victory with a TKO via punches in the fifth and final round.

In the co-headline fight, Ben Rothwell claimed a tight split decision win against heavyweight debutant Ovince Saint Preux, while there was also triumphs on the main card for lightweight Drew Dober, bantamweight Ricky Simon, 41-year-old Andrei Arlovski and Thiago Moises.

Sijara Eubanks's bantamweight win over Sarah Moras topped the preliminary card, while Omar Morales, Brian Kelleher and Chase Sherman were also successful early on.

Another UFC card is scheduled to take place in Jacksonville on Saturday as heavyweights Alistair Overeem and Walt Harris headline an ESPN card that also features Claudia Gadelha, Angela Hill, Dan Ige, Edson Barboza, Eryk Anders, Krzysztof Jotko, Song Yadong and Marlon Vera.
