Bradley Imes Smith, AKA Brad Imes (March 13, 1977), is an American mixed martial arts fighter. Imes appeared on the second season of The Ultimate Fighter reality show on Spike TV. He has competed as a heavyweight in the UFC, WEC, and most recently King of the Cage. He is perhaps most notable for his two "gogoplata" submission victories in a row, something that is extremely rare in MMA, especially in the heavyweight division.
While on the Ultimate Fighter, Imes defeated Rob Macdonald and Seth Petruzelli but lost a split decision to Rashad Evans in the finale. He has since gone 0-2 in the UFC with losses to Dan Christison and Heath Herring, but has won seven fights in small organizations since.

Imes comes from a football background, having played offensive tackle for the University of Missouri, and the Iowa Barnstormers of the Arena Football League.[citation needed]
