Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns to the hurt business this Saturday night (March 2, 2019) with UFC 235: “Jones vs Smith,” which takes place inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The event will see current Light Heavyweight champion Jon Jones defend his title against Anthony Smith. It’s one of the quickest turnarounds for “Bones,” who just reclaimed his title by knocking out Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 232 last December (see it again here). For Smith, it’s his first shot at UFC gold after racking up three straight wins at 205 pounds in less than eight months.
“Lionheart” is confident he can be the first man to hand “Bones” his first true defeat, though Jones is determined to keep his winning streak going on his way to adding to his already-impressive resume.
From the official YouTube description:

Light heavyweight title challenger Anthony Smith sneaks in some Big Apple sightseeing between interviews. On the opposite coast, welterweight champion Tyron Woodley and debuting welterweight Ben Askren talk about their history as teammates and friends. Light heavyweight champion Jon Jones puts in a hard workout, then clears his mind with some high-altitude outdoor time.
