Anthony Smith has been itching for a title shot since his submission win over Volkan Oezdemir at UFC Fight Night 138.
Daniel Cormier was the UFC light heavyweight champion back then, but Jon Jones reclaimed the throne this weekend when he finished Alexander Gustafsson with a barrage of ground-and-pound in the third round of the UFC 232 main event.
Smith and Jones got into a bit of an exchange on Saturday’s FS1 post-fight show, and ‘The Lionheart’ followed up by calling out ‘Bones’ on Twitter.
Smith, who is now on a three-fight win streak, believes he is on a ‘collision course’ with Jones.
