Anthony Smith feels it’s his time to shine, as the surging UFC light heavyweight contender is looking to challenge Jon Jones for the championship.
Smith got into a bit of a back-and-forth with Jones on the UFC 232 FS1 post-fight show, where ‘Bones’ said he would be willing to defend his title against ‘Lionheart’ in July.
Smith, however, who is on a three-fight win streak, is willing to fight Jones ‘anytime, anyplace, anywhere.’ The 30-year-old says his manager is currently negotiating with the UFC to get the fight booked as soon as possible.
“It sounds like he’s in,” Smith told TMZSports recently, per MMA Fighting’s Jed Meshew.
