Anthony Smith's best game plan option is obviously....

[chill doggie]

Coming out the gate trying to poke Jon Jones' eyes with extreme prejudice, hitman mentality.

What's the worse that could happen?
A warning? A second warning? A point deduction? A NC?
We know he won't be DQ'd for it and eyepokes severely affect the outcome of fights, when poked in the 1st round the poker is 74% likely to win I've heard.

Get some clear nail polish to make them nails strong, maybe file them to a point, and don't tell them I told you to do it!

You can thank me later and you're welcome in advance.

One eye poke. Warning
One shot to the groin. Warning
The the odds are better and no points deducted.

My point? Have variety motherfucker.

 

[Fungoose]

Pulsing, obviously. Or maybe crash into him dressed as a pregnant woman the day before the fight to fuck with his mental game.

 

[Mason]

Throw bombs and hope something lands

 

[gspfedkobe24]

Sorry kid this isn't bloodsport and NO Anthony won't be throwing chalk into Jons eyes when the ref isn't looking...LOL

Also he should be able to hold onto the fence to keep balance. And when the Ref slaps it away just put it right back and you'll have another 20 seconds before the ref says he's giving you a warning rinse wash and repeat until you win.

To bring a gun?

I think his best strategy is to just go for broke. Come out of the gate throwing bombs and hoping for a short fight, whichever way it goes. Try to overwhelm Jones a bit. The longer he stays in there with Jon, the less chances he has of winning anyway. Try to blitz the fucker. The odds still won't be on his side, but they'll be slightly improved.

Bro thats idiotic. Youre not gonna out poke jones. That be like mike perry trying to beat demian maia with jiu jitsu.

He's sure as shit not gonna outstrike him or outwrestle him so....

Gotta be that or rolling into a kneebar/go for a flying arm bar/flying kneebar.

He could bite Jon's fingers when he inevitably puts them in his face.

 

[Shabutie]

Come out with that white privilege and get handed the knockout.

Jones has a UFC gun bro.

 

[Shabutie]

Can't forget his goggles though

 

[kickpuncher]

What would happen if a fighter had like a metal plate or rod in their body from an injury that required it? Say a person broke their shin and had a tungsten bar put in, could they still be a fighter? If so, A Smith needs to do that and just spam leg kicks all day.

 

[Fluffernutter]

Eye poke, a kick in the balls, then a punch to the back of the head.

None will get called anyway.

Champ!

 

[Hookhooks]

If smith came out bouncing around with his hands held in some uncanny, new position before unleashing a devastating double eyeball pluck on Jones i would still consider him the champion despite the disqualification and subsequent jail time. Rogans reaction would also be priceless and totally worth it.

 

[Zebo]

His best chance is to hope Jones has no respect for him and pulls a Gus 1 or a OSP and basically skips his fight camp.

 

[Slatersan]

He should just grab Jones finger and yank on it til the tendons rip like jones did to glover

 

[Oooxente]

Just take some turinabol win the belt and take the suspension.
