UFC 235: Fight by Fight

JON JONES VS. ANTHONY SMITH

Following a third-round finish against Alexander Gustafsson in December, Jon Jones will return to defend his light heavyweight title against upstart contender Anthony Smith at UFC 235. Jones has been the most dominant 205-pound champion in UFC history, with a series of blistering performances against a long list of former champions and top contenders. Jones has already put together a resume that could arguably make him one of the greatest fighters of all-time, but he’s far from finished. To defend his belt this time, Jones will have to go through a knockout striker in Smith, who turned the light heavyweight division on its head with three straight finishes since arriving in the weight class last year.
