Smolyakov later made his professional MMA debut in February 2013 in his native Russia. Over the next nearly three years, he amassed an undefeated record of 8–0, with all of his wins coming before the final bell.

In his second fight for the promotion, Smolyakov faced Cyril Asker at UFC Fight Night: Rodríguez vs. Penn on January 15, 2017. He lost the fight via TKO in the first round.[3]

Return to UFC

After two years away from the company, Smolyakov returned to face Greg Hardy on April 27, 2019 at UFC Fight Night: Jacaré vs. Hermansson.[4] He lost the fight via TKO in the first round.[5]
