After acknowledging Jones news, Anthony Smith who’s slated to challenge ‘Bones’ at upcoming UFC 235 event said he ‘truly don’t care‘ about that via Tweet.

But guess who came to Jones defense is his upcoming rival at UFC 235 event Anthony Smith, ‘Lionheart’ issues a fiery response and shut ‘Chaos’ down.
🙄 its played out, Colby. Its not funny anymore. Stop throwing shade at my fight. Also, I heard you have a issue with me getting a title fight… next time I see you, we should talk about that. Or you gonna tuck your tail and hide in the corner of the gym like you did in Chicago?
As for what’s next for Covington is unclear, and last week he threatens to sue the UFC for title snub. UFC president Dana White said ‘Chaos’ need to work his way back to earn the title shot.
UFC 235 is set to take place March 2 from inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
What do you think of Colby Covington’s comment?
