Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Smolka began his amateur career in 2010 and was able to achieve a 2–1 record in his first year of competition, also winning the X-1 amateur 135 lb. title. He would take nearly a year off before turning professional in 2012. He would pick up wins under the Destiny MMA and King of the Cage banners before moving on to the PXC promotion in late 2012. He would win all four fights he had with PXC and would leave the promotion as the flyweight champion. [6] [7]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

In late 2013, Louis was signed by the UFC and was slated to make his promotional debut against Alp Ozkilic at UFC Fight Night 35 on January 15, 2014. [8] Smolka was able to come out with a unanimous decision victory. [9]

[12] He won the fight via knockout in the third round, finishing him with a side kick to the face and swarmed on Vaculik til the fight was stopped. [13] The win also earned Smolka his first Performance of the Night bonus award. [14]

[17] After a back and forth first round featuring creative maneuvers by both men, Smolka was able to establish top position on Holohan midway in round two and deliver a series of shots, prompting Holohan to give up his back. Smolka was then able to lock in the rear-naked choke and secure the victory. [18]

Smolka next faced Ben Nguyen on July 13, 2016, at UFC Fight Night 91. [19] He won the fight via TKO in the second round and was awarded a Performance of the Night bonus. [20] [21]

Post UFC

After being released from UFC in the beginning of 2018, Smolka moved to Irvine, California to train at Team Oyama and try to turn his career around. After getting scolded by his manager, Smolka realized he had a drinking problem that had hindered his career for the last years. Smolka gave up drinking completely and claims to have been sober since January 2018. [33] [34]

Smolka's release from the UFC also prompted him to reconsider his career as a mixed martial artist. Faced with lower salary and limited growth opportunities, Smolka admitted to nearly walking away from MMA. [35]

Smolka faced Tyrone Christian Gorgonia at Gladiator Challenge - MMA Fighting Championship on April 21, 2018. He won the fight via TKO in the first round.

Return to UFC

On November 13, 2018, news surfaced that Smolka has re-signed a four-fight contract with the UFC and faced promotional newcomer Su Mudaerji at UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs. Ngannou 2 on November 24, 2018.

The bout was to proceed at catchweight with Smolka fined 20 percent of his purse, which would go to his opponent Quiñónez. [49] Smolka pulled out of their fights the next day as consequence of the weigh-cut and those bouts were canceled.
