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).
