UFC 235 Predictions: Is This Going To Be The Best Card of the Year?

-

[C] Jon Jones (23-1, 1NC) vs. #3 Anthony Smith (31-13)

Man, I don’t want to hear it anymore. No more picograms (even though they’re still there), no more cheating accusations. I just do not want to hear it. We need to appreciate the rest of Jon Jones’ career before its too late. This man is the greatest fighter to ever grace the octagon. He is dangerous on his feet off both stances. He has more submissions than anyone in the history of the light heavyweight division. His consummate wrestling pedigree speaks for itself (Daniel Cormier, Ryan Bader, etc.). His ground and pound is the most ruthless ground and pound there is in the UFC. His fight IQ is almost like a computer’s. This is Jon Jones. His opponent, Anthony “Lionheart” Smith, is a black belt in brazilian jiu-jitsu. He has as much heart as anyone in that division and you can bet that he is going to push the pace all night long. Sad to say, I don’t give a shit. He won’t have all night long, because he’s going to get his ass kicked. The dangerous variable to take into account here, is that all he needs is a brief moment to catch Jon and capitalize. I’m not betting on a brief moment though. I’m betting on greatness. Give me Jon in probably the first couple minutes of the fight.

Prediction: Jon Jones via 1st round KO
