‘Fat’ Anthony Smith eyeing a fight that ‘Doesn’t make sense’ for his UFC return in 2024: ‘That would be fun’

Light heavyweight contender Anthony Smith is ready to get back to work following a brutal third-round knockout loss to Khalil Rountree in his last outing.

Smith, who once challenged Jon Jones for the 205-pound title, has struggled to find the win column as of late, dropping three of his last four fights. Despite the string of losses, ‘Lionheart’ has no interest in hanging up his gloves just yet. Instead, he’s in the market for something exciting in the Octagon — just as soon as he whips himself back into shape.

“I’m ready to fight,” Smith said on his Believe You Me podcast with co-host Michael Bisping.
