After subduing a violent home intruder in the early hours of the morning earlier this month, Anthony Smith was in no mood to hear he didn’t do a good enough job.

“Glad Anthony is OK, no way [the] dude would have left my house walking,” tweeted light heavyweight champion Jon Jones, which set the divisional contender off in an appearance on SiriusXM Fight Nation this week.

“What a perfect moment to flex, Jon, in the middle of a disaster like that in my home,” Smith said. “What a perfect opportunity to flex, how goddamn cool you are.

“Just when you thought, ‘That’s pretty admirable of Jon Jones to reach out well-wish me,’ then as you continue reading you’re like, ‘Oh that’s right, I forgot you’re still a douchebag’. It’s just his opportunity to insert himself and make sure everyone knows how cool and badass he is.”

“You know, for a second, I thought I was going to have to respond and say, ‘Hey, thanks man, I appreciate it,’ and then you continue reading and you’re like, ‘Just for a second I thought you were human and you have a soul, and then I realise you’re the same piece of **** that you’ve always been.’”
