At UFC 235, Jon Jones was in danger of losing his light heavyweight belt for the first time since his epic clash with Alexander Gustafsson in 2013, but it was nothing that Anthony Smith really brought to the table.
Jones was comfortably cruising on his way to a one-sided decision victory, controlling the fight against a very durable “Lionheart” at the T-Mobile Arena on Saturday night, but landed an illegal knee to Smith’s head in the fourth round.
It took a few seconds until Smith got up and said he was good to continue, though, and that brought some memories to the 205-pound king.
