Jon Jones Not Impressed With Anthony Smith’s “OK” Performance
Jon Jones is not impressed by Anthony Smith’s latest win against his toughest challenger to date.
As seen in the headliner of UFC Moncton (also known as UFC Fight Night 138) from Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada, Smith scored a big win. He beat former title contender Volkan Oezdemir by third-round rear-naked choke.
Heading into this fight, there were many fight fans believed that Smith would be the next in line for a title shot. Thus, when he picked up this victory, it would seem close to a guarantee.
Smith is 7-2 under the UFC banner. He holds wins over the likes of Mauricio Rua, Rashad Evans, and Hector Lombard. Before this fight, he beat former UFC light heavyweight champ Rua by KO in July in Hamburg, Germany.
The belief is that he’ll fight the winner of the vacant light heavyweight title bout between Jon Jones and Alexander Gustafsson in the main event of UFC 232. Daniel Cormier will be stripped due to his status as the heavyweight champion. He’s slated to fight Derrick Lewis with the heavyweight title on the line at the UFC 230 pay-per-view event. He is then expected to fight Brock Lesnar early next year.
