Jon Jones will return to the Octagon this weekend at UFC 235, and while the light heavyweight champ is a huge favorite to retain his belt against Anthony Smith, it’s an intriguing nonetheless.
In Smith, Jones will take on a fighter with one of the highest finishing rates in the game; case in point, “Lionheart” has taken out his last three opponents (“Shogun” Rua, Rashad Evans and Volkan Oezdemir).
Recently the UFC posted the video below, which is the “Countdown” segment for this Saturday’s headliner.
