March 2, 2019, in Las Vegas, Nevada. The perennial champion, Jon “Bones” Jones, headlines UFC 235: JONES vs. SMITH in Las Vegas this weekend. The main event sees Jones face Anthony “Lionheart” Smith in the Octagon®.
Jones’ recent return to the Octagon against Alexander “The Mauler” Gustafsson at UFC 232: JONES vs. GUSTAFSSON 2 lived up to all the hype with Jones beating his Swedish opponent in the third round via knockout.
Anthony “Lionheart” Smith is coming off two ‘fight of the night’ performances including a knockout of Mauricio “Shogun” Rua at UFC FIGHT NIGHT: SHOGUN vs. SMITH, he shouldn’t be taken lightly. Whether it’s a first-round knockout or judges’ decision when UFC gold is on the line anything can happen.
