's former rivalBones’, Anthony Smith caused controversy by classifying the fighter as 'beatable' and claiming that he is not as good as they say.
"Jon Jones It's beatable, very beatable. He's not that good. Not individually. If you take their individual skill sets and remove them, each of these things won't be a problem. It's when you put them together, and he puts it into the complete package that's the problem. His fighting IQ isn't very high. He is well trained and does what he is told very well. And that's a credit to him. I'm not saying that as a negative, I don't think it's a negative. It's a 'dog' for sure,” Smith told 'Morning Kombat'.
