UFC 235’s Anthony Smith says he has received an ‘outpouring of hatred’ ahead of Jon Jones fight

Anthony Smith has received an ‘outpouring of hated’ ahead of the biggest fight of his career at UFC 235.

Smith, who will challenge Jon Jones for the light heavyweight title in the UFC 235 main event, says it will be difficult to stay humble should he pull off the upset on March 2nd.

“[My coach Marc Montoya] tells me all the time that I need to worry about impressing myself and no one else, and that’s the piece that I’m going to struggle with a little bit,” Smith said Monday on The MMA Hour, per MMA Fighting’s Shaun Al-Shatti.
