Since Anthony Smith returned to the UFC in 2016, “Lionheart” has finished six of the nine men he’s faced…as a result, the former middleweight has been tapped to face 205 champ, Jon Jones, tonight at UFC 235.
In advance of tonight’s bout, the UFC posted the video below, which features Smith reflecting on the most memorable finishes he’s scored in the Octagon to date.
Did Smith’s vicious, stoppage of the legendary “Shogun” Rua make the list? Yes. Of course it did.
