Jon Jones and Anthony Smith trade barbs on social media: ‘I’m the guy that made you almost likeable’

Jon Jones and Anthony Smith seemed to be on good terms before, during and after their light heavyweight championship tilt at UFC 235, but that seems to have changed in the wake of ‘Lionheart’s’ recent interview with Submission Radio, where the former title challenger said he has become ‘obsessed’ about a rematch with ‘Bones’.

“I have become absolutely obsessed with Jon Jones,” Smith told Submission Radio. “It’s almost embarrassing how much I have focused on, studied…it’s become an obsession. You know, I’m sitting next to Rashad Evans during the fight, and I’m, like, learning Jon’s mannerisms.
