If you're Anthony Smith what is your gameplan?

[SpongeJoshSquareCheck]

I think the only way Smith beats Jones is if he bull rushes him and throws his best in Round 1. We've seen Jones struggle under early pressure before in vs Gustafson 1 where Gus busted him open and easily won the first round and could have potentially finished the fight if he was more aggressive in his striking. Jones also may have a suspect chin (avoiding HW) and he hasn't really been hit hard. Smith has the size, length and reach to do this. The only way he can win is by first round K.O. He can't be tactical, timid or try to outsmart Jones over the course of 5 rounds, no one can. His only shot is by a recklessly stupid flurry of hard punches that finish him or seriously hurt him.

Go for broke straight outta the gate. No other way.

Head butt Jones early in the fight.

With a head this big, I'm sure it'll do some serious damage

Throw a couple of eyepoke overhands and scrape the eyes. Hit him in the nuts, disorient him, and then finish him with wild shit regardless of point deductions etc.

Take my ass whopping and get this money

Eye poke Jones and kick him in the nuts in the first round, knowing the state of the referring he probably will only get a warning. This will disorient Jones and give him a taste of his own medicine and will end up throwing him off his game completely.

Hope he has some pictograms in his system, doesn't make it to the fight and the UFC gives you your show money.

 

[Nightwish]

He should enter the octagon with loaded gloves, beat the shit out of Jones and then pay the bail. That kind of stuff surely works in current UFC.

Vs Jon Jones? The only game plan for anyone is to take your loss, collect your check, and be happy to get out of there alive.
