In a recent interview with The MMA Hour, Smith claimed that Jon Jones will be an easier fight than his last opponent, Volkan Oezdemir.
In case you didn’t know…
This past weekend at UFC Fight Night 138 in Moncton, Anthony Smith marked another impressive win by defeating former Light Heavyweight Title contender Oezdemir via third-round submission in the main event of the evening.
The heart of the matter
While speaking with MMA Hour, Smith made his intentions clear about getting a shot at the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship in the near future and in order to do so, Lionheart is seemingly willing to face off against the top guys who are currently representing the 205-pound division including the returning Jon Jones.
According to Smith, he feels that he is totally capable of knocking out Jones despite the fact there is nobody till date that has scored a legitimate win over the two-time division champion. (H/T: MMA Fighting)
In addition, Smith also claimed that he feels Volkan is certainly a tougher opponent than Jones and also someone who is totally hittable.
What’s next?
Jon Jones will make his return to the Octagon at UFC 232 on the 29th of December, 2018 as he faces Alexander Gustafsson in a Light Heavyweight Title rematch. Whether or not Smith gets a shot at Jones in the future remains to be seen.
