Trevor "Hot Sauce" Smith (born January 5, 1981) is an American professional mixed martial artist currently competing in the UFC's Middleweight division. A professional competitor since 2009, Smith formerly competed for Strikeforce.

Background

Smith was a state champion in wrestling at Mark Morris High School in Longview, Washington and a NJCAA All-American out of Highline Community College[2] in 2002. He then continued his career at the noted Division I wrestling program at Iowa State University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in marketing.[3][4]

Following the match, Magalhães stated "I didn’t notice that," in reference to the strike to the back of Smith's head.
