Anthony Smith was unable to solve the puzzle of Jon Jones, but he doesn’t believe it will take a heavyweight to defeat the reigning 205-pound champion.
That viewpoint is in contention with fellow UFC light heavyweight contender and analyst Daniel Cormier, who recently told BT Sport that he doesn’t think Jones can be beaten in his current weight class. Cormier has failed to defeat Jones twice while Smith lost a unanimous decision to Jones in the main event of UFC 235 last March.
Cormier’s opinion is that Jones will meet his match when he finally makes a highly-anticipated (though not guaranteed) move to heavyweight; Smith, however, feels that Jones can lose at light heavyweight.
