Anthony Smith did not take kindly to Jon Jones’ comments about his fight with an intruder last week, where ‘Lionheart’ was forced to fend off an attacker in the middle of the night after a young man broke into his home for seemingly no apparent reason.
Smith was considerably larger than the man but said it was the toughest fight of his life and that the intruder absorbed every punch, kick, and knee he threw.
Jones, who beat Smith via unanimous decision at UFC 235 to retain his light heavyweight title, sent Smith his sympathies but at the same time made a subtle diss about how the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt was unable to neutralise his attacker.
